The weather it is pretty strange around here. The Ossiacher See is at an altitude of 550 m. The main ski lift Kanzelbahn arrives at 1000 metres. The peak is at 1911 metres. At the bottom of the courses, so ~1000 m there is hardly any natural snow, but thankfully there is a ~70 cm thick layer of artificial snow. Which is melting, of course, so when you come down from the top, it a has a strange feeling of water-skiing, but I think I have already told you that.
Back at the top there is plenty of snow, it is cold, windy and foggy sometimes
. Other times the sun shines brightly. I'd talked with my parents and they'd told me that on the webcam they could only see fog and blizzard. So, I am telling you, it is strange.
Imagine these changes in temperature and the strong, changeable wind hits you the most on the lifts. So it is the perfect combination for catching a nice cold. [NP: We did indeed. All of us. :) ]
Today it was one of the girls' birthday. The bus stopped at a supermarket on the way back from the courses, so we bought refreshments and some balloons and a cake too! When she entered the kitchen and saw the balloons flying around and us singing there, she was pretty surprised :)
We played some table-tennis with the guys today. I haven't played in years. After a couple of games I got into it and I really enjoyed it. I have to play more, it is so much fun!
Further on, a couple of us went to the club. The music was crap and the DJ was as well. She kept on putting bad songs and he thought that he was good because the people seemed as they were feeling good. Hardly. The people were laughing on him and were making fun of him and his music.
Very annoying changeable weather
