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.
