Just back from Mayrhofen also and it was a great week, Thursday and Friday being proper powder days as Sminrnoff_Skier says.
Highlights of the week were: 1. running the lift line (through the trees) off-piste next to Red 5 in 2 feet of new untracked powder at 8am. 2. riding from the top to the bottom of Black 17 (3 times in quick succession) using the piste for about 1/6th of the run, the rest of the time playing around either side of it and coming home through the trees at the bottom. In about 3 feet of powder. 3. running Red 5 down from the Ahorn with absolutely no visibility and all the snow cannons going. Cracked/bruised a rib and did some damage to the board but it was great fun!! Found the best Apres Ski bar also at Tux-Vorderlanersbach at the bottom of the Rastakelbahn, the Hexenkessel....great fun, right at the bus stop, tidy barmaids and a schnapps called Suße Hexe (sweet witch). Can't wait for Grindelwald on Wednesday ) |

1.00 EUR = 0.889232 GBP
I must say I am thrilled with the exchange rate, as I can book Snowbombing only in GBP, so it will be about 30% cheaper for me than last year!!!!! I love the Eurozone :D Think I might get a t-shirt made!! |

Nothing to do with snow, but the scariest road I have ever been on was on a coach from Dlaman airport in Turkey down to the beach resorts. Over 2 hours, the coach driver was overtaking police cars on a one lane either direction road.
Kids were screaming, parents panicking and you could see the occasional wreck of a bus/van that had left the road. Petrifying. |
