DH and I started at sea level in NH, met his cousin at Logan and 20 hours later landed ourselves at 4,200 ft. on the front steps of the place we would call home for the next 8 days.
A few lessons were learned along the way:
1. ZzzQuil is a godsend for red-eye flights (just add a glass of wine, and you'll get a full flight's rest)
2. When you buy tickets from an Austrian train company, do not expect to pick them up in Germany
3. Leave plenty of time between your flight and your train...you may get evacuated from the train station while waiting
4. DH gets grumpy when traveling for 20 hours...feed him regularly
After that much travel, it was dinner and bed...nothing more.
Day 1 - Low visibility (and by low, I mean none). Better stay close to the trails...if you can find them
Day 2 - We woke up fresh snow on the mountain, avalanche bombs in the distance, bluebird skies, and every view was more miraculous than the last
Me and DH (always need a pic to send to Mom)
Perfect way to end the day...goggle tans, beers and a view that does not suck
Day 3 - This was our "Rest (but not really) Day". We traveled to Zurs via the new Flexenbahn
And found some scrumptious, fresh lines
Day 4 - Couple friends arrive and we head back to Zurs to find some good snow and venison sausages
The place with the sausages was closed, but it would take a lot more than that for Zurs to disappoint (it did not)
The snowboarders' version of the ol' spread eagle. A snowboard trip report would not be complete without a method grab
