Arlberg, Austria

This past weekend was a "long weekend" meaning I had no school on Friday. On Thursday night, Paul, Addie and I headed to the Arlberg area of Austria. We stayed in a small town called Tobadill. Population of Tobadill: 550. I think we managed to find the only hotel in town. On Friday we skied as Ischgl on the Austrian/Swiss border. On Saturday we skied at St. Anton and then on Sunday from Stuben.

This picture from the telecabine sums up the weekend pretty well...

We took off for dinner in Stuben, but I forgot that I had placed my dirty socks on the roof of the car. It wasn't until we had gone a few kilometers when Addie heard a thumping on the roof. It was the lone Darn Tough sock hanging on. It's partner had been lost in the road somewhere up the pass. Fortunately, we were able to turn around and search for it. Addie was the lucky soul who happened to be in the front seat of the two door car. When the Darn Tough was spotted road side, she hopped out to retrieve it...the sweaty, stinky, Darn Tough that had survived being run over a few times...


In Stuben, I was fortunate enough to meet up with friends from Colchester, Vermont....Leigh and Joanie!! They were in Stuben for vacation. Here's the whole crew at dinner.
