Easter in the snow

For the Easter weekend we had plenty of snow - and sunshine inbetween. The powder was fantastic - outstanding tree skiing with the kids and in the end plenty of winners: Worldchampion Michaela Kirchgasser as well as the kids in their age group races at the local championships! ...only the victory ceremonies were a bit short because of the crazy snow conditions...
