All the year I am looking forward to this week, and all I do is pray that I don’t get sick, or at least not before the train is moving and I am in it; I have never missed one, but I have always been so excited that I never left home without having some temperature. The most wonderful of all ski courses was the one when I was in the ninth grade. We went with two older classes to Krippen- brunn, a little village of five cr six houses in a group of moun tains, called Dachstein. We were about fifty girls, four female and one male teacher. I always felt sorry for him, because he never gave up trying to show us that he was “the man” of the whole group. When one has ever had an opportunity of having a real Tirol- mountain-boy for a ski trainer, he will understand now that a learn ed Latin school teacher is lost when he tries to top him. But it was an unforgettable week for all of us. The whole time there was not a single cloud in the sky—just snow, skiing, and fun every minute. Each morning we went with the trainer of my group to one of the mountains nearby, skied 'around all day in the wonderful scenery of white and blue, and came back when it was going to become dark—sunburned, hungry, and wet. We never stayed in very luxur ious hotels; the houses we lived in were simple wood-huts, but very comfortable; running water was pouring down right into your bed through the roof. The stove kept the room very warm when it finally made up its mind to ac cept wet logs. We even had a re frigerator. Right under our win dow we had a large snow-hole where we kept our cokes and oth er support. It is wonderfully cozy in those little huts as long as one is not awakened by some snow balls in the middle of the night. But it is fun, too, and at least one has a reason to play some tricks on her sweet friends in return. Time passes by, and all of a sudden the last afternoon arrives where the slalom is held. Every body can take part and tries not to blame his trainer. Then comes the farewell-party, and every body is always in a kind of mix ed mood. On this special ski course our trainer took us out after supper, and we had a snow- hole-picnic with torches. This was the most wonderful part of the whole week. Afterwards we all raced down the slope, holding the torch in one hand, as it is tradi tional to do, at New Year’s Eve. Skiing has always been my favo rite sport; maybe it is because I love the mountains so much and everything they embrace!
