Schladming - The Hohenhaus Tenne Cabin

Hi Everyone,

1st post.

Myself and the Mrs are off to Schladming on the 24th also. Can't wait!!!

Haven't been before so can't comment on the difference the bar has made but i've seen some pics of it (during my months of research!! lol) and it does look pretty impressive.

Can't wait to see and feel the atmosphere of the Nightslalom. We decided on Schladming after seeing it on Ski Sunday last year.

Only a week to go!!! :P

No snow,you dont say where else you've been but I'm sure you'll enjoy Schladming and the minger.Two things,keep you're lift pass,then you can show us where you got to and take the missus to Onkle Willy's Hutte,show her the carving on the gents loo door,its special.

Thanks i'll try to remember that! lol

This is our first trip to Austria. We're both intermediates who use ski blades (ducks expecting objects to be thrown! we're lazy skiers and thier easy! lol)

Been to Italy mostly (6 times) once to serbia and a few days in Switzerland.

Saturday 24th cant come soon enough!!!
We're staying at the Kirchenwirt. Any feedback????

Have you had body parts removed by surgery, or did it just fall off?

Mmmm,where to start,Blades,erm,NO,leave it!Kirchenwirt,a fine older property 10 minutes walk through the precinct to the igloo,past the rathaus and on to the main Planai lift.The hotel has been owned by the same family for some years so dont be suprised by the picture of grandad in his german army uniform in the foyer,some of the older guests from the UK found this a little upsetting.It is a relativly quiet place but there are always Brits around making a racket at 2 in the morning,its what were good at!As you are no doubt aware there is miles of skiing,if you get the chance and given fair weather,a trip to the Dachstein Glacier is worthwhile,if only for the views from the telepherique,not for the faint hearted!

You're kidding? Things like that fascinate me, at the end of the day its their heritage and part of the make up. I bet most people in this country have photos of the grandad in the war who was doing for us what this bloke was doing for the Nazis.
I dont see any reason why it would be upsetting to anyone.

Why would people be upset,its war, and it happened sixty years ago, move on .

I'm with you both on this but when a little diplomacy buys beer,then who am I to argue.
