January 2009

New Year saw us back in St. Anton after just a short work break.  It was really noticeable how the number of tourist had increased in just a few days.  The New Years eve brought with a good dump of snow, little did we know that this was to be the only really good dump of snow for January.  Duncan stayed on for week 2, but Michelle had to return to work because she had 2  new members of staff starting.  Duncan skied with Alois for a couple of days.  Michelle joined him on the weekend for another couple of sunny days. Then week 5 we both went for the whole week. It was Johny weeks so lots of partying too.  Alois had 22 people wanting to ski with him on the Sunday, so we split into 2 groups. We skied with Florian for a change.  What a great decision, not only was he a really nice guy, but he really taught some great techniques, and we skied some different runs to normal.  We did an average amount of walking and only one big climb up the Maroikopf (1 Hour) this was surprising as there was very little fresh snow. We skied with lots of familiar faces such as Jenny, Heinz, Per, Joko to mention just a few. We even danced at the Picadilly twice.  Michelle was up to her usual tricks of undressing people on the dance floor. Jenny celebrated her Birthday, we all enjoyed the yummy Sachertorte. The only sad note was Heinz getting injured on the last 500m down to the village. Get well soon Heinz.
