----------
Nice little district. We started at the baby-lift 6 (5%) and 5
(Durchholzen 10%) both hand-hold-rope lifts. Baby lift is OK, the
other is not so useful I think, at least it was icy on that day.

 One 4-seat X-press sessellift (no cover) takes you up. The whole
district is pointing North, so it is never in *real* sun, at least
not the top part. All slopes on the sessel-lift front were icy,
and there is no real difference between red and blue it seems. For a
blue they are pretty tough when they are icy (33%), so not really good
for beginners. Go left on the top to take a nice friendly slide
through the forest and end up at the teller-lift Riedalmlift (3, 13%).
This had great snow even when the front below was pure ice, and it
is a good second step. There is no way back to the top of the sessel
though, so it means skiing down in the end. Aschinger alm is a nice
place to eat. Nice big *real* tea cups (not mugs). Then we went to
Aschinger alm lift (4, 28%, 900m T-bar). This is a great blue slope.
Very wide, lots of powder in the off-piste area, nice variety of
little and big bumbs, a natural half-pipe. A good 3rd step for a
beginner.
