We are, as you may know, on a ski trip and yesterday we went to the major lift systems here in Alpbachtal in Austria. After yesterday's soft launch we ventured straight up to the top and even Beata, who had never skied before, joined us. The view up there was of course fantastic! And how did it go? We offer a post with many pictures from our trip from the top and down to the valley.

When we were in New Zealand, we tested soringwhere you roll down a hill inside a big unlocked ball. Crazy, but fun! Just recently, another crazy activity involving large inflated balls was brought to our attention, namely Bumper ball. We saw a clip that someone shared on Facebook and it actually looked really funny!
