European ski safari - St Anton Day 1
Day One at St Anton began very bright and sunny. Temps were low to begin with, but things warmed up quickly in the afternoon. Great weather to get to know our way around.
We took things easy today, and Nat, Bruce and I took it easy on some of the big wide cruisers near Galzig and St Christoph.
As the afternoon progressed, the sun and skier traffic (it was a Sunday remember) took their toll. The ski back to the village on Ski Route 4 began to resemble Slalom Gully at Mounth Hotham... i.e. half the mountain's skiers being funnelled through a narrow gully covered in hard pack snow mixed with re-frozed slush... not much fun.
The St Anton village area is very small and cozy, a very different feel to a 'mega resort' such as Whistler. We were staying at the hotel Goldenes Kreuz, situated along the main road between the village and the Nasserain area. It was a five minute walk from the main village area, and about 10 minutes from the Galzigbahn gondola.
Lucas enjoyed his first day of creche. He gave us with a smile and a wave as we left him in the morning, and was happy to see us when we returned.
