I had another one of those mornings this past Monday. The
kind where you have so much fun the night before you wake up thinking that
maybe you inappropriately propositioned the chambermaid – or perhaps damaged
the décor of the guesthouse you were staying in.
After a quick look around (and eye contact with said chambermaid
that revealed nothing) I passed if off as just another crazy fun-filled evening with
the Bavarian Ski Club.
This was our third trip with the club, second this
year, and they never disappoint. 69 skiers, snowboarders and snow bunnies
boarded a double-decker bus and headed for the border. Ending late Friday night
in Italy (Dolomites), we geared up to ski the Kronplatz on Saturday and the
Sella Ronda on Sunday.
Jeremy continues to shred on his snowboard each trip, while
I slowly move from drunken baby on skis to semi-professional. We’ve had to hit
it hard this year, quickly, as our usually warm-up Bavarian bunny hills are
still green and snowless. The Alps, however, continue to quell our downhill
desires.
On Monday, we headed back to the Kronplatz where half the
group braved the elements again the other half nursed aching bones and
headaches. We decided to toboggan – which I believe is actually more dangerous
that skiing, but just as much fun. Hairpin turns at 50 kilometers per hour with
no steering and Fred Flintstone-style brakes. Yeah, I got this.
Our gypsy feet are slightly frostbitten after this last
trip, but we head to London on Friday, where we will replace the snow for rain.
The good times, however, will remain.
