Top o' the Mountain

There are some views that one must experience, and no photograph can really do justice.

Thankfully, Zauchensee allows folks to ride down the ski lift as well as up it (unlike Red River, our normal haunt) so we could take Mom and Dad "upstairs" with us even though they weren't skiing. The view is sumpin else.

One of the things you can see from up there is that there are LOTS of pistes. That would be a ski run in nermal Texas talk, but maybe it's an appropriate name since many of the folks we saw were indeed pissed. I mean piste.

Anyway, it wasn't just one mountain, but several, and you could even ski to different towns and ski back. There were so many choices it would take days to run out of new runs, err, pistes.

Aside: Has The Lecturer talked about our efforts to learn German slang? I'll let her explain about a pinkelpause - which we saw but didn't take pictures of. Speaking of being piste.

OK, here's a map:
