Our short flight and transfer to our
beautiful destination of Russbach went very smoothly. We checked into our charming hotel and
dressed appropriately for our first afternoon of skiing. Lunch was taken at the
foot of the number 1 run! We hired our skis, boots and poles and wasting no
time, headed for the slopes to meet our ski instructor.
The guys went up and down
the nursery slopes being helped and assessed as to their ability. After a
couple of hours we had enjoyed the lessons and met with friends for our first
taste of Austrian après-ski. It was then back to the hotel for a shower and a
change for a delicious four course dinner!
Our ski tutor Adrian was extremely helpful throughout our holiday, teaching us how to do things properly - It was great fun! On our second afternoon, for lunch we decided to get onto the “gondola”. This was a fantastic ride with wonderful views all around us. It took us up to a superb restaurant where we met our friends and had a leisurely lunch.
On our third day, Joe and Derek went for a stroll and looked at the piste bashers and surrounding beauty while Peter had an afternoon lesson which was a little more strenuous. I’m sure he enjoyed the drink at the end of it!
On our final morning we went for a long
walk around our village before lunch at the bottom of the slope. It had been a
great holiday, superb weather and excellent company.
