This would have awesome with new snow, but with wind crusted ice, not so much. Still the view was stunning.

We did not have internet in Innsbruck or Sappada. We got our only day of snowboarding in Innsbruck. There was some fresh snow anf the views were stunning. We reluctantly left Innsbruck, for Sappada.
appada was beautiful but the snow was scarce, and the temps were well above freezing. The first night there there were very strong winds which knock down several trees, and closed the pass for the better art of the day. We were stuck in a very small town with little to do. We did finally get to Cortina, to find out the resorts were closed all day , and it did nt look good for the next day. With the nothing but high temps and sun in the weather forcast, we bailed on snowboarding, and Sappada.
This is why we chose Europe, if we got skinked by the weather, at least we would be in Italy.

So this is how we ended up in Verona, quite possibly my favorite Italian city.

A little something in a Salzburg Museum. Enough Said.


Salzburg.

From a church in Salzburg. I love the skull!
City street in Salzburg.
Church in Munich.
Our plan this morning was to go snowboarding in Kitzburg, but we got up late, missed our exit and ended up in Munich to meet up with Dave. Driving thru Munich with no map, we found the train station and Dave with out getting lost. We will head to Innsbruck tonight, and hopefully snowboard tomorrow.



We kinda drove thru a pedstrain only zone to find Dave in Munich, but it was OK because I was wearing a yellow vest which made look official.

Part two 1.23.08

We all needed new pics for our myspace/facebook pages.
Joel: Troy you drive like an asshole and are going to freaking kill us.
Troy: Shut up we are in Freaking Austria


Enough said.


Snowboard Austria and ITaly

Traveling started off awesome. Troy was early to pick Alby and I up. No Line at Genova, no traffic. no check in line, 12 hor flight not so bad. But our flight into Salzburg was delyed.


Troy strated freaking out over his phone not working, and does not know what to do with the extra time.

We finally get to Salzburg, and our snowboards did not make the trip. No one freaked out and we got our people on the problem asap. We rolled on ove to the rental car place and picked up the van. Euro style, might be a little too bit big. Ahh fuck it we are Americans! Get ready.

After many u-turns and some classic 'Troy' driving. we reached our zimmer.
After some much needed sleep, we woke up to new snow, our snowboards, good breakfast and damn good coffee. We also went for a walk around our Zimmer wichi is about 10 km out of the town center, but is surround by farms and zimmers. To our surprize the American school really could of cared less about three Americans stopping in to say hi, but we stopped in to see if we could use their internet. No go.
