... felt confident that we would be comfortable in our $450/week studio rental. Having now arrived, unpacked and slept the first night it would be true to say that expectations have well and truly been exceeded - this place is awesome. I won't go into too much detail, but the facilities include a huge bathroom (including double-sized shower, bathtub, 2 basins and toilet), Cable TV, High-speed cable broadband internet, full kitchen ...

... Trey and I returned to the top again intent on blasting down the mountain at top speed. We both made it down without using the brakes at all in 5 minutes and some-odd seconds. We both had a blast. Trey video recorded his first descent and he intends on publishing on youtube when we return home.

... called Tirano the road started to go upwards. We went through a few tunnels of one to three kilometres long and arrived at the town of Bornio, which marked the start of the road towards the Stelvio Pass. The road went upwards very quickly from here with very tight hairpin turns and it was startling to be this high up with long drops down into the valley below while there were higher mountains all ...

... because you're making it drafty or upon seeing this guy with really long hair saying how he she didn't like him and he needs to cut his hair), it's just too bad that I can't understand a word of it... We spent the afternoon visiting other parts of the valley including the sister town of Tschagguns (across the river) where Bianca's Aunt Rita used to live and still rents a few apartments. We also had a rousing game of mini-golf (I managed to beat the crafty ...

... the next 4 days so we got some great conditions. After that it was all blue sky hot sunny days.

I used to work in St Anton quite a while back so it's great coming back here each year and seeing a few old friends who've kept doing ski season after ski season.

Hommikul käisime suusatamas ja kuna ilm oli taas lumetuisune, siis pikalt ei viitsinud mäel kangutada. Otsustasime Eeroga sõita Galtüri, mis 10km mööda orgu edasi. Galtüris oli 23. veebruar 1999 kaasaja üks karmimaid laviini katastroofe. Suurte lumetuiskudega tekkis mäenõlvale 4m paksune lumekiht, mis 23. valla pääses. Pulberlaviin tuli linnale 290km/h ja kokku oli lund 170000 tonni. Oma suurimas mahus oli laviini kõrgus koguni 100m. Laviin jõudis linnani vaid 50 sekundiga. Linnal on kolm ...

... Esimesed mägiõlled tegi enamikul tervise korda ja sõit läks lahti. Mägede kvaliteet on väga hea. Tõstukid uued ja rajad küllaltki laiad. Lumeolud olid suurepärased. Liftide ja radade kaudu saab ka Sveitsi sõita, mida me ka tegime. Lõunatasime Sveitsi poole peal, kus kehtis nii frank kui euro. Ega midagi teisiti ei ole ainult põnevam tundub :) Õhtul leidsime, et mingi laoseis peab meil olema ja käisime poes õllede järgi. Kast läks seltskonnas nagu kerisele ja ...

... kuni süütute lasteni välja. Loomulikult pidid venelased ennast sauna ukse taga ilmekalt väljendama ja Vasja kombel rõvedat naeru laskma. Lõpuks aga ei jäänud neil midagi muud üle, kui ka sisse astuda ja rätik tagumiku alla asetada.

Kuuldavasti pidi selline saunatamine Saksamaal päris tavaline olema. Samuti pidid noored neiud seetõttu sauna eriti mitte külastama, sest teadagi...teismeeas on niigi raske :)

Kokkuvõtvalt jäin selle suusakuurortiga ...

... finished our walk this morning the weather turned cloudier and cooler. We came back upstairs to our room for a little rest. I can’t believe that I’m still tired, even after being outside and walking around, so I lay down for about an hour. After our little break, we headed out (once more) to tackle the mountain behind the hotel. Just to get to the paths up to the mountain, I was huffing and puffing (have to note here that Bev took advantage of each rest stop ...
