I have just arrived home from a one week long ski camp. I have to tell you it was GREAT, I enjoyed it very much.
My dad did the driving part of the hole trip, my mom made the sandwiches, my girlfriend and I packed up the clothes. We travelled to Altaussee - Austria. The name of the region is Loser, it is right next to Tauplitz. It is a beautiful place, but there is not too many paths.
The weather wasn't the best every, but it was fine. Wednesday was the only sunny day we got. Every other day it snowed a lot. There was no need at all for the snow cannons, which can produce manufactured snow if there isn't enough, because fifty - eighty cm fresh snow fell every single day.
This is why we were not allowed to leave the paths. The four - six meter high snow totally covered the abysses. You simply can't realize how deep you can fall or where is the ground and what is on it.
We saw some brave / idiot people who was riding out of the ring and... BANG!, he sank down and stuck into a two - three meters deep hole. We could only see his helmet from the lift. He had to fight his way out from the trap of the snow. Believe me, it is pretty hard to make it even if you are covered just until your hips.
Luckily there was no need for our insurance. Everyone got home in one piece. There was a mother who hit her knee when she was closing the ski-lift bubble. She is fine now, but she had to skip the last day. Poor her.

The three ski-guides, Ádám, Sipi and Zoli taught us different of tricks and showed various ways of skiing. They helped to improve our skills. At the end of the week everyone got his or her own evaluation from them. I took their advices. They are the experts, I just want to become one of them.
This is for now. I have to pack out my staff.
