Who said you can't teach an old dog new trick?

Well the day started at the hotel faxing stuff. During this they the reception staff found out that I had registered as resident. So they taught me and then had me telling everyone in the office "Ich bin ein Lungauer" which means that I am now one of them, apparently.

Another first was getting stuck on the hill up to the resort and having to put chains on. But that sorted it, so they hold no fear for me, unless I have to do it at 5 in the morning!

So then I went skiing, which was great. There was a fall of snow overnight so some powder about and I went right over the mountain to the next village, fantastic in the sunshine.

I kept falling off the drag lifts though, so I spoke to the ski school and they gave me some tips. So in the afternoon I negotiated 4 t-bar lifts without falling off one.

Gorgeous sunset as I drove home, but still fairly cold -8.
