January, 2007
In the past three years I've been lucky enough to go skiing at a number of different places. I would have to say I've had the best time in Austria, especially Kitzbuhel and Brixen im Thale. If you ever want to go skiing and party the entire day on the slopes and night in the pubs I'd recommend Kirchberg which is just west of the exclusive town of Kitzbuehel in Austria. No other place has such beautiful scenry and nightlife together! Kirchberg is just roaring with pubs and the slopes are also no exception. Most of the slopes have at least two "Huetten" or large cabins which blair out typical Alpine party music and serve tons of beer and food. Also the "Gluehwein" (hot spiced wine) is very popular because of its warming effect.
Below are some links to the web sites and maps of places I've gone skiing with Maria in order of my favorite to least favorite.
Pictures of my skiing trips can be found on my poor neglected blog
