At our normal ski escape in New Mexico, you could not ride the lift unless you were skiing. Not so in Austria. So on Christmas Day, we celebrated by taking the whole fam on a ride up the enclosed lift. It was cold and windy, but the view was worth a short stop. Here's a few pictures of the ride.
Zauchensee had several closed in lifts, which were lovely in the wind.
This was the clearest day we had--the gorgeous blueness peeked through but then the clouds would close again.
Looking back down the mountain on my way up.
Our fearless travel companions.
We took the borrowed sleigh up to the top of the mountain, where Princess Hannah then demanded to be pulled by her kind oldest brother. All I could think about was what would happen if they tipped over the edge and headed down the intermediate (steep) drop...
Party of seven (minus John, the photographer), on top of the world.
