Recently I visited a client in Germany
And we worked hard for the 2 weeks I was there
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while I was there I took advantage of the fact I’d be there over a weekend and went to Austria to ski at an enormous resort that had not yet closed – Ischgl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving there I had feelings of dread as all the lower parts of hills like Garmisch-Partenkirchen were closed and obviously very green – but there was snow high up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I kept on driving – it was about 2.5 hours from where I was in Germany to Ischgl<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I finally got to the town I saw a LOT of green and my hopes sort of sunk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But again there was snow high up and there were lots of people putting on ski boots & heading across to the gondola. So I got on my gear and headed the same way the crowd was heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And am I glad I did. I quickly rented gear and got a ticket and headed up the gondola<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take note – that board isnt listing all the runs that are open. The upper left is all the lifts that are open. There are 42 lifts up there and most were open. The gondola I took up is marked A on that map and there are 2 others that start right in the town itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


And if you look closely you can see there are several mountains ridges & areas that are possible to ski. Most are labelled – B, M, N, C, L and E<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B is the area that the gondola I took initially places you at. And this area is about the same size as the village area of Sunshine village. So I quickly hopped on a chair and rode it up to take a quick spin down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the entire day I tried quite hard to not ride the same lift more than once. Although sometimes I had no choice. And I skied and skied and skied. I finally grabbed some lunch from an amazing cafeteria<\/em> – VERY nice chefs on staff and excellent food ! It was such a nice day I decided to sit on the deck & scope out where I would head for the afternoon (yes thats a lift way off in the distance on that ridge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I skied and skied and I dont think I got to even half of the lifts before I finally called it a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, after skiing all day, I drove the 2.5 hours back to Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Truly had an amazing memorable day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
