Dianne’s lone adventure

Today was race day! Tom signed up and caught a bus to ski to the site. I did not sign up; I went to watch.

So I caught the ski bus to the Hochwurzen gondola. It was an interesting ride. Skiing here is so different than home. This bus stops at many stops; many of them allow you get on a lift or just start skiing on the hill. As long as you have a ski ticket the bus rides are included.

I reach my destination, there is no sign of a gathering of Pilot ski racers! I head on up to the gondola for a ride to the top! Yikes, is this high! This is where we blindly started our sledge rides from, if we only knew! I took a few pictures, holding my breath; admired the view and headed down a few minutes later,

Still no sight of the racers so I head back to bus and back to the hotel! Tom showed up about an hour later.

Later in the day there was an apres ski! It was at the top of Planai Gondola at the Schalf Alm Hutte!
Drinks and a cold buffet. We were a lively group each recounting their day’s adventures.

Race results are not available until tomorrow. We’ll see then how Tom did.Read more
