Back in October I was in Bad Gastein, a small town in the Austrian Alps. At that time the town was hibernating, waiting for winter to arrive (click here to see the photo story). Now winter has arrived and so has a lot of skiers.
The weather was incredible. The first four days was without a cloud in the sky. “Kaiserwetter” as the Austrians call it.
On saturday the local kids were out for ski practice. These kids were better skiers than 99% of people on the slopes (me included).
After seven days of skiing the legs were tired and a snowstorm was in the forecast, so the day was spent without skis just exploring the area.
