Stubai, Austria

This past weekend we went to Austria to get some early season skiing.  It was about a 4 hour drive into the Alps.  The views were incredible.  



This was the town that we stayed in.  Our room was right next to the church.


This was the view from our hotel.  No we did not go swimming.


The first afternoon the ski area was closed so we went to check out the local village.  As we were walking down the street we noticed this little kid all by himself.  His mom left him on the street as she went into the store to shop.  He was perfectly content and singing to himself.


A few minutes later we saw these three guys walking down the street dressed like bigfoot.  We had no idea what they were doing.


This is the Stubai Glacier ski resort.  We skied here the first day.






T-Bars at Stubai.


The second day we skied at a small ski resort near our hotel.  The snow was great.




If you look close you can see Shanan.
