Natalie and I just returned from what the Dutch call a “wintersport trip” (a ski trip). We flew to Munich to meet up with our North American friends Clint & Jackie before driving to 3 hours to Sankt Christoph am Arlberg in the Tyrol region of Austria. Things got off to a great start when Jackie served her amazing homemade meatballs (along with some above average duty-free Rioja)…And I think there was some green stuff on the table that was probably a salad - I was too busy carb-loading to notice.
Some highlights (in no particular order):
It was great spending time with Jackie & Clint (we also had a great weekend with them this past December in Munich visiting approx 10 Christmas markets).
The Hotel Maiensee was just what we needed (and a little of what we didn’t): great food and excellent service about 20 meters from the chairlift (and a spa full of naked old men and women).
The skiing conditions were almost perfect: we had 1-2 feet of fresh powder after the first day; sunny blue sky after that.
