Skiing and Snowboarding
Almost all Austrians know how to ski ( Schifahren ), and for those living in alpine areas skiing represents (for much of the year at least) the major recreational activity. The emphasis is very much on downhill skiing, although nordic (cross-country) skiing is practised almost anywhere there's enough snow to make it practicable. The increasing popularity of snowboarding is injecting the Austrian skiing scene - and the apres-ski scene - with a new vigour. Most resort areas have a mixture of terrain suitable for different ability levels, with runs coded by colour: blue runs are for beginners, red runs for intermediates, and black for advanced skiers only.
