Ellistine: they are not warm, fluffy, insulating blankets! They are (were)unwieldy flaps of plastic which offered no protection whatsoever. When the lift stopped halfway up, for anything between 5 minutes to an eternity, you'd sway back and forth. The sun wouldn't have clipped the mountain and you'd be at the mercy of the wind and the horizontal rain or snow. I can recall being able to almost touch the skiers doing the stock below.
Jan: ha! I knew I was close!
And Dave Mac, if you can quote the Marshall Plan, then we'll have lots to talk about (yawn, say J2skiers!) L.

Dave Mac: I recall being allowed to throw plates around the room one evening many years ago at the Bichlwirt when a Herbert evening turned into a ''greek'' evening. Oooh, I remember: it was the 1990/91 season. Anyone remember the Croatian ski instructor, Alen Greblo? He started it! And I DO have the photos of that evening! I wdn't get away with that now: Gill would chase me out of town!

Yes, we're staying at the Staffler.
Anyone planning on going to the Bauernkeller one night for ribs and potatoes?!!!!!!!!!! (and the GORGEOUS Krautinger: Cabbage schnapps, yum! Okay, so I won't be snogging anyone that night!!!).

Sozz, Dave, you can't stop us Welshies: if Blodyn and I are not allowed to dance ''ar y bwrdd'', then we'll end up singing in God's language: you choose! Blodyn's an Alto and I'm, well, I'm a good tryer!
FAB WIN FOR THE WELSH TEAM TODAY, EH! (snigger!)

yes jan,
i've seen this picture many times; every self respecting pension owner has it in their entrance hall somewhere! the jochums have told me when it was taken, but i can't remember: perhaps ??? 1940's??? am i close?
i'd give anything for the village to be the same now, but that's the price of progress, i guess. L.

My Lancome powder puff. L.

Pavelski,
Quite beautiful words.
Lest we forget ...... L.

dave, you've left out me and blodyn!
can we all arrange to meet at the bichlwirt one evening? blodyn and i are arriving on 27th dec. she's the harpist and would love to see herbert play. can you dance on a table to a harp?!!
what about other niederau J2ski-ers? bichlwirt one evening over new year? L.

OH MY DEAR GOD! JAN, those pics are COMPLETELY priceless! I guess I must have a fair few of the old chair lift too. Circa what date are these? L.

BLODYN! you are such a tart! you'll be up on those tables before me: i have the photos from the last time you did it!
Actually, i'll be sleeping off the 10 hour drive and you chirruping every 30 mins: ''Are we nearly there yet?''
I hope all the Krautingers I shall ply you with with means that I get ultra-cheap conveyancing on my new flat!

Jan: as the hat is too big for me, i generally turn it inside out so that it reads: eluhcsihcS uaneohcsdliW! Look for the Welsh flag at the ski show! L.
