Ski Week -- David's Day Six

The top of the Stubnerkogel mountain where the group had lunch. At 2,250 meters above sea level, David and the others enjoyed a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains poking up through the clouds.

There was also a hanging bridge stretching between 2 peaks.

David assured me that the bridge was actually completely stable.

The last evening, they enjoyed a Hüttenabend, where the group went to a hut at the top of a mountain via an old single-seat chairlift. Everyone had a great evening eating "Rippen und Kraut" (spare ribs and sauerkraut), listening to music and talking about the past week. On the way back, they could choose to go down the mountain via the chairlift or by sled.  James said the sled ride down was very bumpy and hurt a bit.

While the adults enjoyed the atmosphere inside, the kids played outside in the snow. We always say Emilie can make friends with anyone. In this case, she played with a new snowball friend.

And so their Alpine ski week came to an end. We're just hoping the kids may get a chance to use all their ski equipment again, possibly in the Pocono Mountains, before they outgrow them!
