Maybe now they're a bit older...

Up until now I think I've been considerate in letting the likes of you have some slope time to yourself, surely you don't want to encourage everyone to catch the last lift :shock: ?

The only time I've ever caught the last lift home I was terrified in case it was shut, and we were stuck out on the mountain all night. It was a red run down, and I really didn't want to attempt it when I'd never done it before, and I wasn't sure which way to go. In fact, the lift was shut really, but because we wanted to go down, they very kindly allowed us on.

If it was me, I'd head home early to make sure I caught the lift and got some cake before everyone else scoffed it all.

Caron,
I forgot to say that it sounds as though your chalet is across the road from the Crystal hotel. We used to use that funny short drag lift to get high enough to ski down to the road, and then walk over the road to the hotel.

I'm sure you'll have a great time. If you're anything like me, it's the waiting now that's hard to bear.

I have developed a habit of catching the last lift up, buying a gluwein, and getting the last of the rays over the Kitsbuhler Alps.

In my first season in Niederau, was up the mountain late, started off from the top,when one toe binding pulled out of the ski. Trudged back up to the hotel, borrowed tools, and did a fix.

Set off again. After two hundred metres, off came the bindng.

By this time it was dark, so it was an interesting journey, one ski over my shoulder, sticks working overtime!

You were doing so well up until the second paragraph

Was it "fix"?

May have had a slightly different meaning in the 70's.

I'm new here but you guys seem to know your way around Europe. My buddy and I are making this trip across Eurasia which includes about 15 countries. If you are around when we are we would love it if you rode with us. the trip will be professionally filmed and all so it should be a blast.
