Spent the morning the morning with Jenny learning to snowboard.
Released a book at Munich Airport on the way home only to be pursued by the waiter from the cafe who thought we'd forgotten it. Not sure he quite understood what we were doing.

Westendorf 16 March 2007
Spent the day with Karen. She'd had a bad day on Thursday and needed a confidence boost. She borrowed the snowblades and got on fine.
In the afternoon Jenny and I took her down the blue run at Choralpe including some slushy sections of the sort that had worried her on Thursday. She managed the run, about 1km, and it was lovely to see her confidence come flooding back.

Courtney won his class.
Jenny had a glass of schnapps before her run "to steady her nerves".
Afterwards, snowboarded over to Kitzbuhel and down the "Family" version of the Streif piste down the Hahnenkamm. Bus back to Westendorf (much to the chagrin of a taxi driver who lost the argument that there was no bus at 14.08) to go down the red run from Talkaser with Stuart, Charlie and Courtney.
Total descent (including lifts) 4594m.

Westendorf 10 March 2007
"Can you get full fat milk and marmalade" were the text instructions from Stuart.
Jenny and I flew in to Munich from Heathrow with Lufthansa along with Jenny Griffiths. From there by taxi, avoiding the autobahns we reached Westendorf mid-afternoon. The village and lower slopes were clear of snow. The Spar was open, the shopping was done.
Stuart and Karen McIntosh arrived about 8pm with kids Charlie (5) and Alfie (3). Also staying at Haus Martha were Lawrence (Stuart's brother) and Becky with Cameron (8); Bridget and Andy with Courtney (8) and Megan (4) - and Pamela, Andy's mum.
In fact, Haus Martha was full so Jenny and I were to stay at another guesthouse till Tuesday when Lawrence and Becky were leaving and we could move in.
