There, people, is exactly what is wrong with European music.
10 seconds in, hes sung ab out 4 words, and the crowd are bouncing up and down with their arms in the air.

My God. Fetch me a gun.

:mrgreen:

You're right Tony, the route to the Wirt does have a short steepish moguly/icy section just above the pub. Christened it Pork Chop Hill in December - Bodies everywhere and no sign of a sniper.

Still, You cant seriously say that Austrian apres ski is not fun!! It brings out the youngster in me I have to say.

Days ski-ing, Half a dozen beers, a dance and a sing song then back to the chalet to join the skinflints with their tea and cake - cant beat it!!!

true - some of the music is shocking though but i have got this on in the office :P La la la la!!!Und die schwimm, schwimm, schwimm!!!

Thats the place. We called it Hamburger Hill strangely, looked like a scene from the movie!

A bit before that is the first run off the main mountain which ends up in that long shady stretch in the valley, which we christened The Dentists Run because it was so cold by the time you got to the bottom you couldnt speak just like you'd had some fillings done!!!!

Yes, the old Apres is a bit of a giggle. However, after the first half a dozen songs which all sound exactly the same and the Germans all clapping and swaying, it starts to grate a little.

Youre clearly either going off the mountain or back to the chalet too early if the others are still eating cake......we tend to find that dinner is just being served as we get back, maybe time for a quick shower!!!

You're right again, I was being allegorical.

Usually just time for a squaddie shower before dinner!!

Thats more like it fella

I have done it once where it ended up being an apres ski all nighter, finished skiing at 16:40, just one final run down after the lifts close and was still in the bar drinking with locals till 7:30am, only problem was the coach transfer back to the airport was picking me up at 8:30am :(

Never going to try packing a suitcase in that state again!!!
