Austrian Snowboarding Adventure - February '04

We (Clint, Julie and friends Jarrod, Tia, Emily and Erin) flew to Munich, Germany for 1 night, where we battered our livers in the local beer halls. The next day, we drove to St-Johann-in-Tirol, Austria where we battered our bodies with a week of snowboarding. Awesome.....
