Skiing in Garmisch Partenkirchen

We had a wonderful weekend skiing in Garmisch Partenkirchen which is near Munich. The hotel was really nice with excellent food. The sauna and steam bath were also included, which was great considering we were in pain already after the first day! We really lucked out with the weather, it was beautiful with blue, sunny skies the whole weekend. I only fell twice didn't walk away with too many injuries....only a stiff neck and leg muscles! We're looking forward to another skiing weekend in Austria with Christian's family over Easter. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

What a great weekend!

Here's a video for your enjoyment and my embarrassment...Christian really wanted it on the blog...you'll see why in a minute.
By the way, the translation for what I say in the video (German: mach kein scheiss = English: cut the crap)
