Hello once again! I have arrived in Zurich, Switzerland at 3:20 PM. The currency here is Franks but in Austria Euros are used. This is the gateway to the birth place of modern skiing. A three hour bus ride east takes you to the towns of Lech and St. Anton, were over a hundred years ago, modern ski techniques were created. Mabye this is why Austrias ski team is so good. Classic food here is pasta and weiner schnitzel. These foods have been in Austria for ages. They are still delicious!! I have taken a bus into Austria and im about to go skiing in Lech and Zurs. I have unpacked my ski gear and im almost ready to hit the slopes. These are some of the best ski slopes in the world!! This terrain is also some the most rugged in the world. This provides awesome sights and great skiing. It is truly a wonder how they got the lifts here installed. I will be skiing for the full three days i am here. While im not skiing, which wont be long, I will go bobslledding and see the few places of intrest here. After my ski adventures I will take the bus back to Zurich. Transportation for ski vacations here is very well developed, very easy, and fantastic. From zurich I will fly out to Bulgaria and ship my ski stuff back to Colorado. See you then. There are several little villages such as Zug, Zurs, and St. Christof that, along with Lech and St. Anton, are all skiable on the same lift ticket. This is an area of over 22,000 acres, four times the size of Vail, That is skied using lifts, taxies, and buses.
