Skiing the Alps

in #skiing7 years ago

One of my favorite ski trips was Solden, Austria.

I was awed by the sheer size of the alps and the majestic beauty.

The weather was moderate for skiing and the conditions were grand.

The lift lines were different than I was used to. It was basically a free for all. No organization like you find in the western US.

I was also neat to see the location where the chase seen in the Bond movie Spectre was filmed.

The village of Solden was also very nice. A typical ski town with chalets, bars and shopping.

All in all, a great experience.
