Nike Air Max 2011 Ski-Snowboard Salzburg Zell am S

Some sweat is no sweat, however.
We emerge at a wide, steep, twisting trail. Our first descent marks the beginning of a different experience from previous days.
Face plant in three feet of snow.
We ride the gondola to a midway point, and follow a crossover trail that cuts through dense woods. For a moment we feel as if we’ve disappeared into the forest.
Zell am See is nothing if not picturesque. The Zell See—a large lake—sits at the mountains’ base and serves a visual eye-candy from every angle. Normally, we’re told, the lake should be frozen solid at this time of year, but still, on this windless day, its glass-like, ripple-free surface glistens in the sun.
And, the Snow Shuttle people can also arrange gear rental, instruction and guiding services, as well.
The Salzburg Snow Shuttle offers an interesting alternative to self-driving or [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as in our case, having the group’s own bus.
After disembarking from the bus, we trudge through part of the village to the City Express gondola.

Ayh—who cares!? It’s our first powder run of the Salzburg trip (and, it turns out, the only one of the day and one of only three on the trip altogether).

Our on-board guide proves a bit long-winded during the ride, offering all kinds of instructions and advice that was impossible to remember in total, but he’s more than congenial and helpful.

We exit the tram, ski to another chair, then descend to a t-bar. Atop the t-bar at skier’s left sits a field of untracked snow. A powder field. It’s calling my name. I can’t resist.
On Day Six our ski vacation with the ski tour company Ski Europe after a day off to explore Salzburg, the bus delivers us to Zell am See.
That routine can change based on snow conditions.

Three elements differs today from our previous skiing and snowboarding days.
The daily schedule looks like this:
The difference? Fresh snow.
The Snow Shuttle visits a different ski resort daily, operating from mid-December to mid-March. It departs at 8:30 a.m. from Mirabell Square in Salzburg, and leaves from the ski area at 4 p.m. Driving time runs from 60 to 100 minutes.
Fare is €13 for the bus. Adult lift tickets can be bought on board for €35, less for juniors and teens.
Carving high-speed, wide, arcing turns on this surface is easy and a pure joy. There’s no fear of ice underfoot. The bright sunshine makes visibility marvelous. If anything, the sun warms us too much; we’re over-dressed.
I chose a line, and jump in. Powder to the tops of my shins. Delightful floating for a dozen turns til the slope suddenly drops precipitously and, suddenly, there’s powder to my thighs acting like a brake that makes me lurch forward and—whap!—I’m double-forward-releasing and flying airborne and headlong.
The next ride is on a large tram which, we’re informed, will be replaced next year by a high-speed chair. Trams are visually romantic when viewed from outside, but they’re a terribly inefficient way to move people uphill.
"May we ski that powder?" I ask, pointing. Done.
