Wasn't it Finbar Saunder and his double entendres?

Quote from the Hari Kiri page for Mayrhofen. Never skied it, not likely to but thought the info may be of interest.

Sportive skiers and snowboarders can prove their skills on Austria's steepest ski slope here in Mayrhofen. This steep slope has an average incline of unbelievable 78 per cent(!) making a jack and special groomers indispensable for grooming.

Nightmare!! I had many sleepless nights during the summer when the strong winds were blowing worried whether our boat would still be floating in the morning. Thankfully, no damage for us and we're now out of the water and safely tucked up in the boatyard. I hope that the damage can be repaired and with fair winds you'll be back on the water.

pretty sure its in kitzbuhel-not the hannekham but another one that was very short but had warning of 70-degree in parts. Think it was called the Diretissima

How about this one in Mayrhofner????

Hari Kari??

Unfortunately Col I've not been able to find a money tree in the local garden centre. :)

getjim, remember back in the summer when the T.O's told us we'd need to book early to get any sort of bargain?
Last week, apparently it was Crystal that blinked....the rest had to follow with similar price price cutting....could be a good time?

Agree bandit. Prices are being cut but if there ain't the spare cash in the bank then there ain't nowt to pay for the holiday with. I'd love to be in a position to ski more than once a season but as I work for myself, any time off is time without being paid.

I watched them last night on the "Children in need" concert they do seem odd :shock:

They're from Devon. Say no more. :lol:

We're booked. Going to Mayrhofen in March. We usually go away early Jan so waiting 2 more months is killing me.
