Austrian Masters Plus

Saturday was Austrian Masters day with an entry list of 162 competitors ranging from early 30's to those in their 80's. The race was very well run on a very well prepared course. Too firm for my liking but I'm a powder hound not a racer. In all a great day plus the weather to go with it.

Following the previous wet and windy weekend the weather this weekend was superb for the weekend warriors. Clear blue skies, cool temps and little to no breeze. There were crowds but lift lines were reasonable. I guess the great weather meant all lifts were in equal demand spreading the crowds out across the entire resort.

We did find some respite away from it all on Sunday with the odd turn or two out of the resort.
