Nordkette, Innsbruck by Callum and Daniel

On Friday we went on a cable car to see some snow.  We tried to make a snow man but it didn't work because Callum and I didn't actually know how to make a big snowball.  The first time we found snow it was pretty hard so Callum found some soft snow and I knew to look for soft snow to play with too.  It was pretty cold and we went up the stairs and we went close to the edge of the mountain but there was a wall so we couldn't fall.  There was pretty deep snow on the stairs.  We stepped in it and my first couple of steps were high above the snow but then the next few steps my feet went really deep into the snow.  It was really fun!

On Friday we went on three cable cars.  The first one seemed like a normal train and is called the Hungerburg Funicular.  It was designed by Zaha Hadid.  When we went uphill the cars were separate so they moved up and down separately.  Then we went on two cable cars.  Some people walked up.  There were poles holding up the cables and if it was windy the cars would move.  

When we got to the top, we put on our warm clothes and gloves.  We went as high as we could go up the mountain.  We tried to make a snow man.  Daniel and I stood on some steps and the snow was about a metre deep.  It made me get really cold but the reason we had to stand in the snow was because there was some ice where there was no snow.  We didn't want to stand on the ice because it was slippery.  

When we were standing up the top, the view changed every minute because the clouds were moving so much.  When we first looked out we could see the whole city but then a minute later it was covered it cloud.
