Spring Snow in Austria









We went to Austria for the weekend with a group of Alexandra's co-workers. We stayed at Lukashansl Hotel. We where in the Salzburg area of Austria.The ski area we were at was Zell am See, on the Kitzsteinhorn.


















This is looking mostly north, elevation 3029 meters.



























There are cross county tracks in the snow for those who want to practice their form year round at high elevation.





















Alexandra enjoying the sun at the top of the lift station.























Heading down off the snow, we stopped at mid mountain for some refreshments. This photo was taken by the area's local judge. He was enjoying the weather and refreshments as well.


















Last part of the gondola ride down from mid mountain. In the upper right corner is the top of the Kitzsteinhorn, the lift station is to the right at the saddle beginning.





















When we got to the bottom we met some Austrians who were having a good time. Three brothers, a cousin and an uncle.






















Singing and dancing followed. Alexandra and the dancing uncle.






































Steigl beer in the red and white can. Stiegl comes from an old brewery in Salzburg, dating back to 1492. It's not just a local beer, it's THE local beer. For the entire country.


Youngest brother sitting, cousin standing and the oldest brother.











We enjoyed some refreshments, but not as many as were on this table.
















Almost time to get on the table and sing and dance.














The middle brother looked like Bam Margera, sort of.














I thought the cousin looked like a younger Rowan Atkinson.




















Nice rack on the moose, this was back in Kaprun at a pizzeria.














Sunday afternoon, back at he base of Zell am See. Accountants waiting for the rest of the group before heading back to Bratislava.
