What an amazing place... with almost 500km of ONPISTE skiing terrain and easily 5 times that amount of offpiste awesome, steep, deep, powder skiing, plus the most craziest apris skiing atmosphere that I have ever witnesses... it was guaranteed to be a great season... AND THEN THE SNOW CAME AND DIDNT STOP!!!!!!!! Freshies everyday, powpow galore and still finding fresh tracks at 4.30pm most days!!! Incredible. So incredible that I didnt ever want to stop and take photos... so heres a couple but it is literally the only ones I took in 3 months!!!!
The view from my bedroom window... pretty exciting when it dumps that much every night for a solid month!!!! It also makes an interesting walk down the hill to work too.
Any kiwi can appreciate my houses name!!!! Go House Pies!!!!! It also backed onto the slopes, and was a mere 100metres from Mooserwert!!!
MOOSERWERT!!!!! The craziest bar you'l ever see. Its only open from 2-9pm, then youve got to ski home in the dark after too many beers, schnapps and shots!!! Everyone is wearing ski boots and dancing on the tables, goggle tans are compulsary, they serve shots-on-tap, and if your wearing a transeiver then your pretty much the coolest person ever... and if your European then the one piece super tight ski outfits are the hottest thing on the planet!!!!! (This photo was taken at 4.30 pm one Wednesday afternoon).
This photo tries to capture the sheer size of terrain available for skiers in St Anton... real nice!!!

And this is just too funny... the new-school snowman that guests left for us at the hotel I was working in.
The season was fantastic and I was soooo stoked to land a job there as it was made up of mainly English tourists so I didnt have to learn German very quickly!!! Cool town with amazing skiing, an awesome vibe that just never stops, and a ratio of 10 guys to every girl (Hence the nick name St MAnton) therefore resulting in free drinks for the season. Good times
