Winter 2010/11

April 14th, 2011 * Comments(0)

I’ve been totally neglecting this site for the past half a year. For some reason or another I don’t find anything worthwhile to write about or I do but then I change my mind and so we go back full circle. So perhaps it’s time to make a little summary of the past few months…

Nothing much happened after the summer road trip to Portugal. At least not worth talking about… Eventually we had a Finnish Xmas in Tampere and a wedding on new years eve near Lahti.

Afterwards we had ourselves a quick summer in the middle winter ski trip to Austria. Tauplitz, Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang, Zell am See-Kaprun and Zauchensee on an extremely warm prolonged weekend. No powder to be found anywhere… just the hard packed reality of a lousy winter. We based ourselves at a small bio bauernhof. Nicely priced, convenient location with lots of great skiing within an hours drive and friendly.

On occasion we managed to get out, do some winter hiking and the like. The photo below is from a ski touring escape, there and back before lunch type of deal.
