That's it Wanderer, that's what I want to do. How did you hold the digi camera?

Rubbish!

The guy was learning the other guy in green was not looking.

Did you watch the same clip I watched? :roll: Clearly the guy in the red who was the uphill skier was out of control and clearly the guy in the green was NOT a learner :?:

I agree.

I have Go Ski, mainly because I devour technique books. The DVD is heavy on beginner/inters, light on a bit more advanced. Whereas, "The All Mountain Skier" is the other way round.

Temptation should be made of sterner stuff!

Kufstein route is a good shout.

Check http://www.skiwelt.at/asp_service/upload/content/Skibusplan-Kufstein-u-Ebbs-2-(4).pdf

It indicates a 24 min bus journey, so say 20 min taxi.

It is possible that people on J2ski will have a difference of opinion. However, you can be certain that I will never call any of your observations "Rubbish", Mark.

Perhaps, I should have added that in the incident with which I was involved, I told the guy what I was going to do, and the reasons. I made sure that he was capable of walking down and that he had had ski-poles. In his condition, he was a danger to others, and to himself.

Late afternoon, I phoned the Burgermeister, and he phoned the police. There was no outcome.

Oh, and one guy did get violent towards me once, in Italy. I believe that he did regret it. I am a mild mannered person, but sometimes.......

I don't know if my time off will fit with plans. Definitely in the running 8)

It's big skiing, have been in the fall, but not in winter. Yet.

The guy in Red did not appear to be in control. Also, he took out the victim from above. If this had happened in Colorado, (I don't know about the rest of the USA, Trencher?), then almost certainly, he would have his lift pass taken away.

If I had been there, I would have picked his skis up, and skied down the mountain. I have done this before, leaving the skis at the lift station, with an explanation to the liftman.
