"Tuesday"

Some great weather lower down the mountain today but storms further up closed the top ski lifts. This gave us opportunity to try out the jumps and half pipe obstacles on the lower slopes. Swimming and a supermarket stop to stock up on chocolate then back to the hotel to celebrate Olivia and Charlotte's birthday. Happy Birthday girls!

Apologies for the slightly odd colour balance on the one above!

Caitlyn, Beth and Emily at the top of the mountain around 2340m. (around 7200 feet in old currency! - that's about twice as high as Snowdon)

So it's not all skiing, then - Ed.  I thought that pizza-hunting might be part of the plan eventually!

Mrs Downes tell me that all these photos are about "Pizza" but I can't see any, so we'll have to take her word for it!! - Ed

More girls without pizza - not sure who the chap at the back is!! - Ed

And more ....

Selfie in Innsbruck

Aaaah - brings back fond memories for me - I did my language spell abroad as a uni student in Innsbruck - well someone had to do it, as they say - Ed

Saturday (continued)

The weather held out for us today and we had good ski conditions again.

Our skiing skills are developing fast and we are enjoying the exercise and fresh air.

In the afternoon we took a stroll around old Innsbruck town with its beautiful buildings and that amazing snow covered mountain back drop.

Oh, look everyone, we can start to see who's who on these pics as they've not got their cool snow goggles on!! - Ed

Then off to a restaurant for pizza and ice cream.

Saturday

Fantastic snow, sunshine and skiing today. Shopping and swimming tonight.

Some pics from before we hit the slopes!

Please bear with us - Mrs Downes is having real problems uploading photos from Austria.  I'm in Atlanta the moment on my way to my own holiday destination and standing in for her! - Ed

Saturday

A fabulous start to our week, with great skiing and glorious sunshine. Some shopping in the afternoon followed by a refreshing swim.

Photos...

We hope to get some photos up soon, watch this space....!

And here we are!
