Like last year, we spent our Easter break skiing, and just like last year, we stayed in an apartment on a hill that overlooked Radstadt. But unlike last year, we had lots of snow this year. It snowed every night, and a couple of mornings and afternoons too. Last year we skied at Obertauern in slush, and this year, we skied in powder. Only a couple of inches of powder, but powder nevertheless.
Alex's skiing improved--he went from skiing linked to Bob by a pole to skiing alone, and Philip, who already is a good skier, gained more confidence.
We also went sledding! We, including our sleds, were carried to the top of a hill by a snowmobile-driven carriage, and we sledded very, very quickly down a steep and twisting trail. Philip and I made it down safely, but when I rode with Alex, we had trouble making some of the turns and ended up in snowbanks twice. Poor Alex! He then rode with Bob and wiped out twice with him too.
On the drive to Radstadt, we stopped in Traunstein, Bavaria, for lunch. This is the town where my father finished his secondary education while being a refugee in Germany after WWII. Now that I've been there, I have so many more questions for him, but unfortunately, I can't ask him.
