European ski safari - St Anton Day 2

Another day began bright and sunny. Bruce again had troubles with his boots so Nat and I continued to ski the Osthang area and St Christoph.

We stopped off for a quick pit-stop at the top of Galzig.



Nat had a massage booked in for the afternoon, so Bruce (now in hire boots) and I headed up the Schindler Spitze to tackle the high alpine runs.



We then tackled a run from the top of the Schindler Spitze (2660 metres) all the way to Stuben (1407 metres), that's a vertical of almost 1.3 kilometers. The run was wide, groomed and went straight down the fall-line... a perfect run for high-speed carving fun!





We finished the day in the best way possible. Firstly, by having a beer at the famous Krazy Kangaru bar, situated about 200 metres above the village on the main home trail. People have been known to dance the night away while still wearing there ski boots. The problem then is to ski back to the village after having been drinking solidly since 3 pm. St Anton is quite legendary for its Apres-ski, and its not uncommon to see people walking through the village at 11 pm still in their ski gear.



Bruce and I were sensible and we only had a beer each. We then returned to pick Lucas up from creche and take him to the playground in the St Anton village.
