The excitement is building… For some, time spent webcam watching has increased, others are obsessing about the amount of snow on the glaciers, holidays are being booked, new skis are being bought, it has been confirmed that the FIS Ski World Cup Opening races in Sölden are going to go ahead, #winteriscoming – it must be true, it says so on Twitter!
It’s difficult not to get swept along in the anticipation. Despite the distinctly uninspiring weather last weekend it was great to blow the cobwebs away in Hintertux. It’s hard to look at photos and videos of snow covered mountains and not feel a bit of a buzz thinking winter will be here soon…
On the other hand, it seems a shame to wish our lives away.
I went to Hochfügen this afternoon, it was late in the day and although the light was getting low I thought maybe I should take some time, look around and appreciate the amazing colours and scenery of autumn.
