The Alps fill my heart..

..with the sound of music? Although I will say that the Alps I experienced looked nothing like they did in The Sound of Music (or were those the Swiss Alps?). Anyway, I had such a good time in Austria, riding the slopes of St. Anton. I flew into Friedrichshafen airport, which is in Germany, and then hopped over to Austria. This was one of my goals, to ski the Alps, so I felt like I was living a dream while I was there! It's taken me a while to post this entry, so just for reference, I was in Austria from March 27-29.

My Tyrolean style hostel, Haus Schoepf, in the village of Schnann.

Breathtaking.

The Germans know how to make 'em (the base of the huge gondola).

St. Anton base - couldn't ask for better weather or lift lines.

Dense but super fun snow.
