On one of the chairlifts, Sean and I spotted a house nestled on the side of the mountian. The snow on the uphill-side comes nearly up to the roof of the house and then there is a drop of about one story on the other side. So we decided to ski off it! 🙂

The snow was so thick in places! Me and sean skied of the track for a bit and found this house almost buried in the snow.
Watch this video: I jump off the roof of this house and fall straight through the snow!

Next mornig, we got up early to hit up the slopes. The ski runs go on for miles and miles, so you have to take a gondola (not some crummy little chairlift) from the bottom of the mountain to the top. Takes about 15-20 mins. The view was spectacular! At the top of the mountain, you have a panormaic view of the austrian alps:

My half-term, week-long holiday was fast approaching, but luckily, I had it planned, booked and paid for months in advance. Ok, no. We actually snagged a last minute deal about 6 days out!   🙂               

(WARNING! This post is absolute rubbish. Don’t waste your time reading this one unless you are really bored. If you think you are going to get some quality stories and pics about me travelling, you are wrong. This one is pretty much a load of nonsense.) Continue reading this post…
