We've just come back from a skiing holiday in Obertauern, Austria. We were very lucky with the weather as the temperature never went above 0 degree Centigrade and it snowed almost every night, while being sunny or just slightly cloudy during the day.
We stayed at the same hotel the Beatles stayed in while filming their second movie "Help" (nothing special - just a bit of trivia for you), and my daughter came in 5th in the slalom at the end of her skiing class (5 out of 10 in a group of 8 boys and only 2 girls - she was also the youngest of the group ). Can you tell how proud daddy was?

Anyway Obertauern is probably my favourite ski resort and on top of having the best snow stats of all the Austrina resorts it's only a 2 hours drive from my home.
Here are some pictures:

Edit 2: BTW You know who invented the tracked vehicle? Mr Holt... I think the Spurs owners grandfather or greatgrandad.

I heard something about it but not that he was the actual inventor!
Nice piece of trivia!
Does it have anything to do with Holt being with Caterpilar?
Man, those are great pics.
Ah here is the whole story from wiki - he purchased the patent.
An effective caterpillar track was invented and implemented by Alvin Lombard, for the Lombard steam log hauler. He was granted a patent in 1901. He built the first steam-powered log hauler at the Waterville Iron Works in Waterville, Maine the same year. In all, eighty-three Lombard steam log haulers are known to have been built up to 1917 when production switched entirely to internal combustion engine powered machines ending with a Fairbanks diesel powered unit in 1934, yet undoubtedly Lombard was the first commercial manufacturer of the crawler tractor. In addition, there may have been up to twice as many Phoenix "Centipeed" versions of the steam log hauler built under license from Lombard, with vertical instead of horizontal cylinders. In 1903, the founder of the Holt Manufacturing, Benjamin Holt, paid Lombard $60,000 so they could produce vehicles under his patent. Their seems to have been an agreement made after Lombard travelled out to CA, but some discrepancy as to how this matter was resolved when previous track patents were studied. Popularly, everyone claimed to have been inspired by the "dog tread mill" once used on farms to power the butter churn, etc. to "invent" the crawler on their own, and the more recent the history, the earlier this date of "invention" seems to get.
Awesome pics!!
I don't know what it is but that looks like the mountain you climb to get to mr dios house
