The actual wintersport:)

Here's Jan- Willem enjoying the sun and the snow in the same time! The weather was beautiful- very sunny! The snow quality was a bit less- but it was ok, we could still ski/snowboard without any problem. The only problem with snowboarders is that they never can just keep standing and wait, they always have to lay down or sit down- and as you can see my brother uses every opportunity to catch the sun while waiting for the slow ones- the rest of us:)
Jan-Willem again, this time real action- jumping! Pretty scary if you ask me- but he's a good snowboarder and likes to try out things, and most of the time he's lucky and it works out well and sometimes he really cools down with his head in the snow...:)

This is something really cool Jan-Willem and I did. This is not us but some random people, though:) But it is a huge sort of kite, connected to a cable. First they pull you backwards, perhaps 500 meters (1500ft) or a bit more- that actually is the scariest thing! And then you "fly" back- really cool! It really feels like you are flying above the mountains! And me wanna be a bird:)


As you can see we were not the only ones who changed our home for Austria for a little while to go skiing...

Vliegen lijkt me ook heel cool!!
Ik denk dat ik ga skydiven als ik in Cape Town ben... Is niet heel extreem duur.
En met hj bungeejumpen bij de Victoria Falls!! (Thanks to Kevin die me op dat idee bracht :D)
