Best ski images of winter 08/09 - Westendorf

Late February, looking back toward Brixen and the main section of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser region from Westendorf on the best day in the region that I have ever encountered. There was tons of new snow and the clouds had a real symmetry to them especially viewed from the new top station of the Choralmbahn gondola.

Hochsolden – watching the skiers

Carrying a back injury for 3 weeks now and exacerbated by some very intense routes in the Krippenstein Freeride Arena over the weekend, I have been off skis for a few days now. Today we had a meeting in Hochsolden and it was my turn to watch from the sidelines – great weather and seemingly great conditions on-piste. The weather is set to get colder and more unsettled with snow over the weekend and next week but today was really glorious – from the terrace of a good hotel at least.
