Stubaital Glacier, Austria

We set off for Stubaital on Friday for a weekend of snowboarding before Christmas with David & Will - and did it snow?
It didn't stop from the moment we got there until we left. The driving snow, howling wind and limited visibility making snowboarding pretty tough this weekend and I came to the realisation that I am probably a sunny-day-snowboarder than anything hard core.
It is always fun getting up on your board but when you can't see much and you fall down a lot then it's time to retire to the bar.
Snowboarding aside, the food, beer & banter was great and we all learnt a few more Americanisms from Will and now all agree on the pure arrogance of Koala's.
The 6 drive back was a challenge too as the rain became biblical at some points, but back safely we arrived and we're now looking forward to Santa arriving this week.
Will the weather be better in Edinburgh or Aviemore???
