Ah... you'd not recommend a hotel-room hairdryer and a tumbler stuffed into a pair of ski socks then? :oops: :oops: :lol:

reports from Niederau

Tony either mentioned Mayrhofen... and Dave and Jan drank him under the table... or he came out with some Welsh jokes and "Thelma and Louise" have left him up a mountain tied to a piste-basher... 8)

...or maybe they never got further than Jan's bar... :shock:

Wish I could take credit but it was just a disturbance in the force... fixed now. Strange that it should be Niederau though.
Merry Christmas to you all

Me too... although when I skied it <cough> years ago it was a Black run with a large hand-painted skull and crossbones, which I took to be warning me of pirates, nailed to a stick at the top. 8)

330m drop over 1km - the piste even has it's own page on Wikipedia :-

Definitely not one for the faint-hearted and the ride down the chair to inspect it is something I'd highly recommend when approaching it for the first time.

The entry is narrow, often icy / scraped and steep. It also feels very exposed as you can see pretty much the whole slope falling away below you (only obscured by moguls the size of VW Beetles at the top). :shock:
