And I've said this before too; one year we got away with being over the limit and having our ski bags rammed with clothes etc, the people on the next desk checking in were named and shamed when they dared to have one piece of clothing in their board bag.

Maybe it's because they were boarders?

Oh one more thing your user name sounds like a well known saying that's abbreviated by the letters FY was that intentional or coincidence, just wondering :oops:

Nope, tis merely the fact that I always say that when there are two lifts, the furthest one always has the shortest queue.. :lol:

And if you believe that, then etc etc :twisted:

Brooksy, not sure if it is intentional, but your posts always seem.to come across argumentative and angry :twisted:

Naah he just takes the pee :wink:

Far Queue wrote:@Brooksy,

hmm, actually, a gondola is a type of flat bottomed boat as usually seen in Venice )

There are many ways you can use the term gondola for things which are suspended and used for carrying people, and I can appreciate that you would call something as large as the one I was talking about as a cable car. However, I would personally call a cable car something which goes back and forth on the same cable, like the Wengen cable car up to the main ski area. The lift I was talking about in Kitzbuhel actually has many gondolas hanging from the cable and it goes round in a continuous loop, never actually stopping for loading and unloading. Personally, I therefore would class it as a gondola, but each to their own.

I can now finally report that my entire group of 9 skiing buddies are ALL wearing lids.

We had just two die-hards left at the start of this holiday, but a combination of very cold weather, and being in a gondola with 50 odd people, where they were the only ones not wearing helmets finally pushed them over the hill.

I was quite surprised myself, I would estimate that over 95% of people on the mountains in Kitzbuhel were wearing lids.
