Steinmühlen Ski Team Returns to Penken for the 39th Time — 8th-Grade School Ski Trip, January 15–22, 2016

On the snow-covered Penken, in the Mayrhofen ski area, Steinmühle held its 39th annual ski retreat. Once again, the Mitterer family hosted the event at the Gschößwandhaus, located at an altitude of 1,800 meters.

This one-of-a-kind house, located right in the ski resort, offers ideal conditions and guarantees an exciting week. There’s something for everyone here: students practicing their first turns, as well as experienced and athletic skiers.

Also joining us were colleagues who had already explored the Penken back in the 1980s: Ms. Opper, Mr. Stehling, and Mr. Nauheimer.

The beginner skiers were especially proud—by the end of the course, they were even tackling red and black runs.

Once again, the Mitterer family, who run the inn, and their staff played a key role in making this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the students and teachers from Steinmühle. At the end of the trip, the group expressed their heartfelt thanks to them.
