Garmisch Skiing

We are so lucky to be 20 minutes from the site of 1936 Olympics and World cup. Here are a few pics from our go to ski places.
First off we have our things in super slick ski lockers at the base of Hausberg gondola. These are the best lockers- a far cry from the metal and wood boxes that we have used before. The lockers are attached to our ski passes, so to open the lockers we wave our pass in front of the detector (the metal circle below locker numbers in the photos).The lockers are organized so our boots are on boot heaters and the skis stay in the long compartment. We are learning how to get a place on the bench as every time we leave boots or something on the bench and go back to the locker for something, our boots are moved and the space absconded. We have to carry everything in one trip, if others are in the ski locker room. The German line culture applies to seats and benches too.

We tend to eat lunch at the Kreutz Alm. It is so cute and these waiters are so nice and funny. There more service restaurants than buffet style on the mountain. Our kids are getting could at figuring the line so they load the same chair. This particular chair has padded, heated seats and the bubble and ski rest lift automatically. FANCY!
