For me it means once a year, I get to spend seven days in the company of my closest friends doing something exilharating, zipping about the pistes and then re-living the day's accomplishments over several well earned beers. And then doing it all again the next day...
Good company, great scenery and awesome fun in one neat package. Winter cannot come around quick enough for me year-on-year! :-)
Thankfully, my wait ends tomorrow at Gatwick :twisted:

Aaah, bless -)
I once skied with a guy who was in the Canadian ski team 35 years before I was born! A humbling experience, I was fit, in my 20's, skiing the season etc etc .......
He was in his 70's ......
and outskied me in both speed and control without any effort.

Awesome. I'd love to meet someone like that and pick their brains for advice.
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

Sepp Schellorn is 65, Konrad G is 66. They are the oldest two permanents. There is an occasional 70 year old, ie just helps out in February.
Geog Steiner, Toni Niederfriniger, now retired.
