Let's see those photos

Thanks for sharing these.

Tony, is the top one Red 7 in Mayrhofen?

If so, I loved that run, you can get some extreme speed going through the middle of it.

For those who are interested:

Mayrhofen pics:
1. Red 7 taken from the cafe past the first chairlift. Yes, Tino, its my favorite run on the Penken side because in the right conditions you can get a right lick on, and its also quite varied.
2. Eddenwald red run on the Ahorn. The Abfahrt off the mountain runs off the bottom of this run. It was almost deserted in January.
3. Rastkogel, showing the off piste tracks. This was taken from the chairlift back up towards the 150 man car.
4. The Filtzenstadl cafe at the top of the Ahorn, where you get off the new 8 man chair. Mrs H said the cafe was new as she had never seen it before: I think its been there about 100 years or something....made me laugh.
5. Mrs H looking gorgeous in the early morning sun.

Sauze pics:
1. 1 man chairlift, link to Sestriere.
2. Montgenevre, taken from the "other side".
3. Part of the Banchetta Olympic run, with an early morning ski school taking a gentle run down.
4. The top of Monte Triplex, Sauze, looking right across the valley.

wow! what amazing photos. I need to have that camera (or a more steady hand than I've got).

Ha. Theres nothing flash about it at all. Its a simple Kodak Easyshare V570, cost about £130, and its already been superceded by about 2 updated models since I got it. But its small and easy to use, fits in the ski jacket pocket nicely, and I often grab it and take random snaps on the slopes. The nest pics are the ones you just snap instantaneously, rather than the posed ones.

But why does it have two lenses?

hmmm, not sure what happened there, you need to click on them for full size

Tony_h, why are there ppeeps travelling both ways on the chairlift?

mr shambles

Its the link between Sauze and Sestriere, and people travel both ways. Its not a lift up to a piste.

I was gutted that lift was shut when we were there. I've always wanted to ride a one man. Mmm, that sounds wrong.
