A WEEKEND OF WINNERS AT RUDOLFSHÜTTE

For the first time, I had the opportunity to watch Tom in one of his Snowboard races the "Radical Ride 2009".
We head off to Berghotel Rudolfshütte a giant ski lodge on Weissee Glacier World early on Saturday morning with Hansi, Wasti and Christan.
Tom getting ready for his first race in the gondola. First the Spine Protector then the Piepser and finally the helmet and goggles.
The finishing line.The first days races were the Free-Ride-Cross.
Today Tom took first place and won ski passes and a beautiful new Burton Snow Board.

The A Team. Hansi took first place winning his first ski race and a new set of ski's, Wasti came in second and Christan in 3rd. A day of perfec results for the boys.
The huge ski lodge Rudolfshütte. Because Tom was a competitor in the "Radical Ride" we had a big discount on our accomadation, we payed only €44 for a double room with buffet breakfast and a buffet dinner. Such amazing value. The rooms were nice the food was good and the hotel also has a climbing wall and a beautiful wellness area with a pool, saunas and heated relaxation chairs overlooking the mountains, perfect for defrosting after a long day out in the snow.
Tom thawring out in our room.Heated chairs in the wellness center, with a beautiful view of the mountains.
A beautiful sunny day for the second day of racing.

Tom taking first place on the second day of racing in the "Chinese Downhill" woohoo! he even beat the Profesional snow boarder from Finland.

Wasti was 3rd and christan 4th.
Today Tom won a weekend in Summer for 2 with food staying at Rudolfshütte, ski lift passes and €50.
