yes, phil's shop is the old bank (which i remember as an old bank!).


Prior to this being a bank, it was a ski hire shop, and in my early ski-bum days, I worked there, fitting boots.

"What size shoe are you? Five and a half? That will be a size seven then. Got your thick socks with you?"

When the single chairlift was replaced by a Gondola, the ski shop moved to the other end of the Brunner, and the bank took the building on.

For those outside of the world of Niederau, Krautinger is a schapps brewed only in the valley. The word is, don't sniff, only taste.

I prefer Hazelnusse schnapps, availaible only at Rudis, and my house. :mrgreen:

Dave, I'm sure that was a NMT (Near-Midnight Typo), because I'm sure there are two people on these chairs ;)



And here ...



Mr Admin: I hope these pics aren't too big, if they are, sorry :(

OH MY DEAR GOD! JAN, those pics are COMPLETELY priceless! I guess I must have a fair few of the old chair lift too. Circa what date are these? L.

L.: Hmmm, I can't be absolutely sure but I'm thinking 1975/76 ...

Now how about this. What date do you think it was taken?



And here's a bigger version:

I'm sure I can make Dave Mac out by the lift spinning the lifty a yarn about how his pass is back at the Bichlwirt and can he go on for free this once :D

yes jan,
i've seen this picture many times; every self respecting pension owner has it in their entrance hall somewhere! the jochums have told me when it was taken, but i can't remember: perhaps ??? 1940's??? am i close?
i'd give anything for the village to be the same now, but that's the price of progress, i guess. L.

L. - For sure it's a famous pic and you're in the correct decade but I think it's too soon to go blabbing the answer until at least Dave has responded ;)
