SKI Racing Glove Questions Are IN!!!! (sleepless nights are coming)

What can I say?

You all amaze me at your; intelligence, your wit, your imagination, your divergent thinking and of course at your "problem solving" techniques!

Jan I just did the first read of your answers. You see like you I go to sleep at night thinking who will be the great winner! First thing in the morning and read posts on this site!

Your answers made my day!

Your sense of observation, coupled with your experience made the difference.

You are the top scorer so far!

Your answers were so close,,,I am going to have to read answers again.


You are "soaring" very close to success score!!!!!


I will send you pictures via your email of the two articles and I am sure you will emmediately get their use!

Bravo for great effort and "complete" answers!

Respectfully,

Jan, your answer was superb. Hats off to a great approach to the analysis.

I confess that this quiz scared me, I knew if you wanted to do well, there was a lot of time involved.

Was in Niederau last week, but couldn't meet up, every minute was filled. Will catch you in second half of January, maybe wait at the bottom for you? :-)

Thanks Dave :) - What did you think of the new four-man chair whilst you were here?? If only it went right to the top of the Rosskopf ;)

Oh and thanks for offering to wait for me - what a Gent :D

Jan

Jan, I cannot quite work out the logic of the 4 man chair. The only issue with the single chair was it's age, it was after all, the first chair lift in Tyrol, installed by Herr Hochmuth, in 1947.

But there was hardly an issue with lift queues, so I would have thought that a double chair would have been OK.

The other issue is that the chair is only feeding the Hochberg. What would be good is if another run was developed. The easiest for this would be the Gseng, and I discussed this with Michael Unger. He said the bottom section was too steep and narrow for the average skier, and this is true. So why not develop, the bottom section?

I see at the top, on the path to the Anton Graffe Hut, there is some log/earth widening.

There used to be other runs there, too, the Standard, and the Touchech, both of which got treed-over.

With regard to the Roscopf idea, I think the issue remains with the camber of the Lanerkopfl, together with it's preponderance to ice over where it is wind-exposed.

I can not wait any more!

Too many skiers "begging" me to give out the answers!

So if you all do not mind ,,,,,,,,,,

The winner is Jan!


As a smart wolf he waited till the very end,,sniffed out the competition,,checked out all the "angles" and spend hours analysing the "properties" of the two first items! I suspect he also used his wife and sons to get some of the answers,,,,but all that means is that he will have to share his gloves!


Now for the surprise!

Rossfra8, Gordieski, Tony-H, Rose R, Mike and Trencher took the plunge and posted some possible answers! They took the time to research possible answers! They checked out sources and I hope in the process learnt about skiing!

I will be sending via PM to all above in the next 30 minutes all the correct answers!

Those that just surf around and do not wet your feet,,,,well you are going to have to ask these skiers to share their knowledge!

Till next quizz,

May I suggest that you all ask Jan when you see him what that logo means on the left side of his gloves!

Also ask him how it feels to have ski gloves that are supple, soft,and that gives him lots of pleasure!

If ever you read a ski magazine called, "Snow country" edition October 1991 has on its cover the very gloves Jan will wear soon!

Congrats Jan, enjoy your gloves well done

Well done Jan :thumbup:
