Skiing Austria 2013

Welcome night

Holly and Bob on welcome night

We got a tour of the kitchen with appetizer stops

The gang! 

Top of the world




Hot chocolate stop... 

One of the five courses each night! 

Meeting friends- our inventor friend, Wolfgang

Opps- Holly had a little accident involving her thumb

Karen and Ubi- locals that Steve made friends with last year, so we had to see them again! 

Where the kids lived after skiing


We just had to return to the Montafon area again to ski over break. We booked our favorite hotel- The Montafoner Hof. It is a family run place, relaxing, friendly, and lovely! The only change this year is that we brought our friends, Bob and Holly and their three children: Robert, Max and Kate. It made for a really fun week to share as families, consisting of: a big Austrian breakfast, skiing in the gorgeous Austrian Alps, swimming every day for the kids, happy hour, and a five course dinner each night. Get up and repeat for 6 more days! Pretty tough, huh?

Last year Steve and Kate met a lovely local woman named Karin Sander. By the end of the week, Steve was at the home of Karin and Hubert for a bottle of wine and to meet their frineds who were visiting. This year we were able to enjoy a day skiing with Hubert (fantastic skiier!!), a nice dinner at Montafon and another bottle of wine at their home. We hope to see them again when we can be the hosts.
