Sjennon sees Austria - Dissolving in Winter Dreams in Westendorf, Tirol

in #travel6 years ago

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2019 where I started the year by getting eaten by snow. Literally.

For awhile, me and the family had been planning to go snowboarding (skiing ew, jkjk). I flew in through Switzerland where my uncle and aunt picked me up and drove a few hours into our second hometown - Westendorf.

Being in Berlin, I did not know about the crazy warnings going out - snow snow snow! Which was both a good thing and a bad thing.

Snow security 💪Hard to get there
Fresshhh powder 🌨Closed slopes
Amazing sightsClosed roads
Closed lifts
Closed everything
Bad sight

I mean, I suppose this looks really bad - but, I must say that the points on the left side might count for +100. Ofcourse some wicked snowboarding didn't go without some wicked pictures taken.

I'd love to take you on my trip with me.

There's been so much snow lately in the mountains. We only go hiking to the mountains and we had to skip a few weekends as there was zero visibility. It looked like all the Alps were under one big cloud :D But these days it's better and actually very sunny. It's a pity that you didn't wait with your winter activities for a bit :)

I like your photos and it looks like you had fun anyway :)

Have a great start of the week!

Oo, where are you from? You live nearby?

And yes, it was insane. Very bad visibility, but that came with amazing snow though.

It's a trip we had to book in advance as it's like 10 hour drive and the prices can go nuts. Aswell as we were with quite a big group so needed to make sure everyone was available.

Happy week!

I live in the northern Switzerland so it takes me around 1.5 hours to get to the Alps :) We couldn't go there for several weeks because of the weather. It's been horrible but last couple of weeks were much better so we could enjoy some nature as well :)

Have a lovely weekend!

You've got news about @spectacles ?

Ahh haven't seen you in awhile :) It's good to see you enjoying yourself!

Yeah, I know :( It's been awhile haha, do thought I'd post something. How have you been?
