A run down Tennladen

I did plan to put a series of photo shots, but then spotted this on You Tube:



Is isn't the complete run, and half of the video is taken up by the two easier fields at the top. But the field after the path through the woods does give a flavour of the run. It is a pity that it doesn't cover the remainder of the run, particularly the jump at the start of the run-in.

My favourite run!

Your legendary status is confirmed Mr Mac.
Strangely, on thursday I was having a conversation with my boys about this run trying to explain that bottom section and they've now just sat through it with me patting me on the back and praising me to the hilts. I'm one happy bunny :D
Thanks mate :thumbup:
now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch it again...

I don't want to put a damper on events on this wonderful Sunday morning...... but it all looks a bit tame for a red 8)

I always thought and I can't remember where I got that thought from that reds were graded slightly harder in Austria, now before all you Anglo Austrians start getting hot under the collar, it is only a question. 8) 8)

I was surprised how close he was getting to that very very long legged person dressed all in black... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, looked a superb run and although it is a different perception from the camera view point looks a place of interest for the future.

Niederau is not your kind of place Stewart, of that I can be certain.

I have skied this run, and it not particularly difficult. Mind you, with thin snow coverage, icy sections and stones poking through, it was not the easiest!
Its steeper than it looks in places, Ian. Its just a shame its only 1 of a couple of runs from the mountain down to the gondola.

without prejudice

okay, against my better judgement I'm going to take your bait Mr Wickham, justifiable given that you burst my bubble.

I'm not in a position to clarify as this is the only red I've skied in Austria, however, I've asked the better half and he has confirmed that it is by no means "tame", the top part of the last section (about the 2:20 mark) is, he says, bl**dy steep. Just to confirm, he has skied twice in Austria and four times in France (greens, blues, reds and blacks). Also, (covering all my bases here) I don't have a favourite country, I look for a resort, the country is of absolute no consequence to me.

Hope this clears it up for you

No bait Caron, just an observations, thanks very much for the reply :wink:
