The posse has migrated.  We, too many to name at this point, have decided to take over Maria’s pad in Mayrhoffen, Austria to finish off the European Extravaganza.  She lives in a house with three levels, each buffed out as individual apartments.  It’s common for Austrian families to build a home like that and once all the kids move out they pick one level to live in and rent out the rest.  The “ski storage” is a beautiful sight.

Our highlights included dinner at Sebastian’s parents place, off piste skiing where everyone stays on piste (we found pow a week after the last snowfall!),

GIANT calzones stuffed with a salad

and more adult amusement park rides such as this covered magic carpet:

Since the snow is somewhat crap Janina and I decided to skin up the mountain one day for a little huffin’ and puffin’.  I came across this tree house/smoke shack/hunter’s perch.

With strategic perfection Jackie, Liz and I did a final pack of three chics and all thier gear into a teeny tiny Toyota to make the long drive back to Geneva, Switzerland where Jackie and I depart back to the States and Liz finally returns to her working husband.

Topping it off in style, all the ladies, decked out in leather coats with attitudes to match, postpone our good byes with a shopping spree!  To the cheapest store we could find, of course, because after all, we are ski bums.
