Skiing in Soll, Austria, Januray 2008

Another great week of Skiing in Soll, with good weather although a bit nippy at times! Plus the "home run" was open this year which was particularly entertaining after a few beers in the "tent" at the end of the day!
This is Rudi, our instructor for the week. One of the nicest people you could meet! He was just on his way to escort Gerhard Berger, ex Austrian F1 driver, to Kitzbhuel to watch the Hannenkham, incognito! Not only was Rudi an ace skiier and teacher, he was a driving instructor, motorbike instructor, a ski racer, plus he played in a band at nights!

Berger's holiday home is on the right of the slopes, not bad eh?
