I'd had a really good time in Montafon in February, so was looking forward to returning. It's always much easier the second time you work in a resort, and when it's in the same season then you know a lot of the key people. We had the same ski instructors, the hotel staff were largely the same and I knew the drill for things like the ice skating. The big difference was the amount of snow, and the temperature.
In February it has been cold enough to snow in the town. This time all the cafes had tables outside and were dong a good trade in ice creams. The other big advantage of this time of year is that the clocks have moved forward, so you get light evenings and nice sunsets.
The skiing conditions weren't too bad, but by afternoon the snow was heavy, and we had a few accidents. I managed a ride on a skidoo, but missed out on a helicopter trip as they had no room for me.
We also had a play on a contraption called a ski-fox. At first it was terrifying, but with a bit of practice it was easy to control and loads of fun.
It probably wouldn't rank as the best weeks skiing I've ever had, but hey, much better than a week in the office....and I get paid for it too!
