SAMNUAN, SWITZERLAND

When we all met slope side this morning we decided on pizza for lunch.
So not to make it too complicated by figuring out those dam international calling codes and dialing
nine,
six, 
seven,
eleven,
eleven,
we thought we would head to Switzerland and see what we find.




Kate will hop scotch on some lifts and meet us there.




 See you soon, Kate.

 So where do we go?

 The big deal with this Swiss Miss is the Duty Free.
As soon as Carol saw "50 SHOPS"!!!


Hey, look.
Carol off piste.

Slow down Carol. We're coming into Samnaun.






Here we will hike a bit thru town and see if we can find a Pizza Pizza, Diminoes or the like.

Here we go. Pizzeria.


Hello

 We asked them to cut it in six slices because we thought eight would be too many to eat.


 Cafe
So I don't
PIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZA


To all the photographers,
including our very congenial waiter.
DANKE!!!

ISCHGL, AUSTRIA

February, 2016

Never really heard of Ischgl before John and Carol invited us along for the pre family week of skiing.


Lets do a quick fly by


On our day of arrival we were greeted by wet snow. Welcomed on soon to be groomed pistes but a little troublesome most elsewhere. What did freeze will prove to be difficult off piste skiing and what didn't had a tendency to slide down the mountain sides.


This view is from John and Carol's place in town.
Our place was just on the edge. Top right hand building. Affording us with a great view and still a convenient walk into town and lifts. 

This slide in the distance was not far from our back door.
(Glad it wasn't closer because we didn't have a front door to let the snow out)


Our Davos- Lais

I didn't long for home with our boot drying/ski storage smelling like a good old Canadian hockey dressing room.


Mostly invisible from town is one of the largest ski areas I have ever visited.
John and Carol guessed that it is possibly 5-6-7 (or more) times larger in area than  Whistler/Blackcoomb.






Moon over Ischgl.



More Ischgl flying next
