Semester Break ;)

From the 13th through the 21st I (well technically my school) had Semester Break!!!! From the 13th through the 16th my host family and I were on ski holiday. We spent four amazing but tiring days in Saalbach! Saalbach is the biggest ski area in Austria!!!!


The first day


Its sooo pretty. I am jealous of people living here


Typical Austrian Hut for Lunch




WOW!!!!!!! OK 


Ski team Jacket


Oh yea know casual photo. NOT. i think my host parents got sick of waiting for me because i was taking so many photos. 



Quick side trip to Tirol. Saalbach is in the "Salzburg state" and it connects over to Tirol. 


Skiing with my host parents. my host brother was in Italy for football (soccer)!!!!
