One of the great things about working for PGL (other than being paid for going skiing!) is that I get to ski resorts that I wouldn't normally think of going to.
Wagrain is part of the Sportwelt Amade ski area in Austria, along with Flachau and Alpendorf (there are other bits as well, but I haven't skied any of them). It is a typically Austrian village, whose main attraction outside of skiing is the Wasserworld swimming pool. It is also famous for being one of the villages where Joseph Mohr was vicar (Joseph Mohr famously wrote the lyrics to Silent Night).
I'm out here for 2 weeks, this week working with an all boys catholic grammar school. There are over 20 British school groups here this week, so it's busy. The place that we're staying is about 15 mins walk from anywhere, so I'm getting fit.
The snow is holding up well, despite it being warm. The ski area is mainly intermediate terrain, but I'm having fun....I just hope that the snow stays good until the end of next week.
