Skiing in Schladming, Austria- "Get a Life Tile"

We only had a weekend, and it was a 5 1/2 hour drive, but we decided: Why not? When are we ever getting back to the Alps? So- Friday after school we hit the road and drove to Ramsau to ski. And it was a Perfect Weekend!! Great weather, good conditions, amazing views. The kids were terrific in the car and on the slopes. A perfect moment in time, really. SO glad we did it. Just like in the Game of Life- "Ski the Alps, Get a Life Tile."

Jack says he just "Goes where my skis take me."  That's when we decided that the terrain park was not a good choice for him.

Please, Mom, no more pictures! I want to ski.

I didn't like the image of the cross on top of the mountain; I was already thinking about Natasha Richardson WAY too much. 

Lunch of Champions- Bratwurst and Wiener Schnitzel. The Austrians wash it down with lots of beer, but we went for the water instead.

My photographic skills leave a little to be desired. But here's Nate, boarding some bumps.
