First Skiing Trip to Austria

Don't think there is no snow to ski on! We (my colleague and her bf organized it) made a trip to Austrian Stuhleck ski resort (near Semmering) yesterday. It is only a 3-hour drive from Brno and really close to Vienna - only 45-minute drive (plus 35 minutes you spend driving along the highway of this cool city). On the way to Semmering we went through a couple of tunnels (through some of them even several times because of a tiny detour;-)). One of them represents a magic gate to a land of snow. When you get out of it - the land is all covered in snow, unlike when you are entering it.
Stuhleck is a small ski resort but due to fresh snow we had a good time, not only on the slopes (the concept of huts - Hütte - are really one of the best in the world). As it is beginning of the season, there were no crowds, which was amazing. There has been a brand new cable car, built during the past summer season, that operates really fast. At the end of its track there is a brand new restaurant, and brand new clean toilets with extraordinary hand-dryers - kind of basket into which you insert your hands and they are dryed within 10 seconds! No kidding! The cable car (it is a 6-seater) has an orange bubble shield, which makes the world look nice even if there are cats and dogs raining. Some of us considered it violet though. However, I award J&J with a certificate of competence for The Best Saturday Skiing Trip to Stuhleck!
I look forward to a next trip! ....which starts tomorrow (Monday). Being boyfriendless, I plan a few-day skiing holiday in the Czech mountains - Krkonoše. My vacation starts tomorrow.
