So, what do you get for spending nine hours on a bus full of drunken Slovaks? Four days of amazing snow and sunshine with a side of skiing and riding in the Alps, that's what! Last week was our spring break, and we did everything possible to ensure that it would be one to remember.
We loaded the bus in Bratislava at 10:00 a.m. with our good friends Zuzi, Greg and Peter, and our voyage to western Austria had begun. After stopping every few hours to let the "on-a- mission" drinkers answer nature's call, we finally arrived in a small alpine village called Haselgehr. All the right ingredients for a great time were present, and the conditions on the mountain were sick!
We spent the next four days Warth-Schroecken surfing the Alps. The terrain was freaking amazing! It was like lift serviced backcountry. The ungroomed, knee-deep white stuff was such a treat. We met some new friends, and spent our time not thinking about teaching. What more can you ask for?
