What did we do for our third anniversary?
Well after work (about 10.30pm) us and a bunch of mates caught a taxi to the next village up valley, then walked and skinned for an hour up the easy run to the summit of the local part of the ski field. By this time of night the groomer tractors have been out and all the runs are freshly groomed for the next day. We then waited around under the full moon for midnight to come, had some drinks and some cheers, took a couple of photos and savoured the view. Then it was a fabulous 900m decent down the well groomed easy run back to St Anton by moon light! To cruise down runs that during the day are so crowded you can barely link a dozen turns with out crashing in to other people, at full speed or long slow carving turns is great. To do it by moon light is almost as fun as powder skiing.......almost. We did other stuff but I’m sharing those romantic bits on the web!!!!
