France for Skiing

One week skiing over new years. Cause travel is the best start to a new year.
Les Sybilles is a nice little place to go skiing. It's just very far away and takes forever to get there...
Eine Woche Ski fahren über Neujahr. Einfach, weil Reisen die beste Art ist, das neue Jahr zu begrüßen. Les Sybilles ist ein nettes kleines Örtchen. Nur leider sehr weit weg...
The weather was fantastic the first days, but the snow was melting away and that made the skiing experience a bit underwhelming.
Das Wetter war die ersten Tage super, leider zu gut zum Ski fahren, und der Schnee ist unter uns weggeschmolzen. Etwas enttäuschend.
The more the merrier. Making dinner for 12.
Umso mehr, umso lustiger. Dinner for 12.

The weather got a little harsh. And yes, I never get lost in those pants.
Das Wetter wurde kurzzeitig schlecht. Aber keine Sorge, in der Hose findet man mich auch im Schneesturm wieder. 

A day later it was all nice and snowy again. Good thing it snowed at least a little.
Einen Tag später war es schon wieder schön, und eine ordentliche Piste hatten wir auch, wenigstens einen halben Tag.
Last evening walk through the snow.
Spaziergang.

Ski Diary

My blog is dying, so I will try to update more frequently! It's already march! Crazy, I know...
So since I learned how to ski 2 years ago I took the chance to practice a little more. First stop in Italy! 
In January we went skiing with my university homies. A couple hours in a bus with 30 ppl and lots of beer later, we arrived to see NO SNOW! Good thing we went up hill a little more...

To get to the house we stayed you have to ski from one ski-lift to the next. It's a super nice hostel on the top of the mountain!


There is this thing about skiing, this special atmosphere with all the super yummy food, the cold snow, laying in the sun, having lazy evenings with drinks and staying up late even though you want to be the first at the lift the next morning. Well, I never stay up late, cause I'm the sleepy type, but I still love it!


Crazy weather! The last day you couldn't see a thing! It got better though...


The last day is always the best day! Starting really early with skiing, having the biggest lunch you can get (Haxn) and going sledding the whole afternoon. 
For lunch I shared "Haxn" with a friend. It's basically translated as "pork knuckle", it's pretty fatty but super yummy! It was my first time eating one so I was super excited about it. And let me tell you, I am the master of meat cutting! 


Going sledding in a large group is the biggest fun ever! It's all about who's in pole position! And it's a bit dangerous, since the boys don't care if they make you spin in circles or make you go down off road!







Skiing in Austria
The more you ski, the more you get addicted! I already had my own ski boots (got them for christmas) and in February I got my own ski! No way I would not go skiing again before summer takes over! So somewhere between Germany and Austria there is a nice place to go skiing. We stayed a friends uncles appartment. First time I went skiing and didn't have to share a bathroom with 15 other girls... very nice for a change! 

Good company! Miss Snowbunny and Th.


My new ski! They sparkle in the sun! And I ski so much better with them! Never renting ski ever again...


The boy not even wearing a jacket! It was super hot, we were all sweating and during lunch everybody was wearing t-shirts. Not normal. But I would say, rather die of heat than freeze to death... Not everybody will agree with me on this.

I really wish those pictures had better quality... but I guess thats what you get when you only take pictures with your phone...

I decided to do a little experiment, it's called capsule wardrobe. I'll blog about it soon :-) Trying not to let my lovely blog fade away!
