Well we made it to Innsbruck, despite winter’s icy roads and delayed flights. As we descended from the clouds approaching Innsbruck we caught our first glimpse of the alps and they did not disappoint! 

Once we arrived at our hotel, we were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco for me and a beer for Rob 🥂🍺, it was too late to take in the sights of Innsbruck, so we spent a quiet evening getting caught up on our sleep.

Friday - our last day in the Dolomites

Image
 We all had a good day but in a variety of ways. Jim took the morning off and then skied the afternoon at San Pelligrino. Ellen cross country skied in the morning and then hiked around in the afternoon. I spent the morning walking around town, and joined Ellen in the afternoon as my ski legs had had enough, and Pam & Rob went back to a portion of the Sellaronda that included a sledding extravaganza.  Views from my morning walk, one of the local cheese/ sausage/ grappa shops.  A little gnome home 😂 Pam & Rob’s sled ride 😳

Wednesday - each day just gets better 😎

 Today was our best day yet! It was a blue bird day and we ( Pam, Jim, Rob & I)  spent the day at Passo San Pellegrino. This was the view looking over our town as we rode the bus this morning.  The runs today were all blue or blue/ black groomers, and at the crest of every chair lift we were wowed by another breathtaking view. It was hard to keep your eyes on the run surrounded by these views. This was our lunch spot Cheers to some great runs!

Sunday, our first ski day in Italy

Image
Let me back up just a bit as I didn’t blog yesterday. We ( Ellen, Pam, Maureen, Rob & I ) started our day with a 4 mile walk through the streets of Venice. While no one would admit we were ever lost in this city, it sure felt like it at times. We stopped for our morning cappuccino & croissant and eventually found our way back to our hotel. With Jim joining us we walked around a bit more and eventually made our way to the airport via the waterbus.  We met our group at the airport and by 4:30 we were on our way to the town of Modena, in the Dolomites. After dinner the group got together for introductions and a briefing on details for the week.  Our drive to Moena  This morning we woke to a beautiful blue sky day. Once again, thanks to Jim, Maureen & Rob our day was planned and we caught a ski bus to an area called Alpe Lusia. The skiing here is challenging as all of the snow is man made and so while we’re not skiing on ice , the packed powder has an icy feel to ...
