So there is a roped off line on the right of the Niederau Gondols queue, that is specifically for ski school classes. Quite sensible.
A lady instructor, red school, is shepherding her 10 year olds up the steps. She was already aware that young Donald, had made a beeline for the loo.
AS the class reached the top of the steps, Donald appeared, at the bottom, and behind the fence. Lady instructor shouts, "Come on Donald, over the fence". Donald climbs the fence, but is faced with a wall of people, and he is only 4 ft high.
"Up you come Donald!", I shouted, and gave Mel a nudge. "Straight through Donald", shouts Mel. Everyone else takes it up. "C'mon Donald", "Get through Donald", et al.
It was like that scene at the railway station in Crocodile Dundee, "She says she loves you", and the crowd parts,and in our case, allowing Donald a straight route through.
What nice people we are in Niederau.
Queues for Lifts??

We are nice too! We always make way for the ski schools but the kids on this occasion were not ski school, they were with their families and they were elbowing and barging their way through the queues. It took me until the third or fourth day of politely putting up with it until I put my foot down...or should I say 'pole' down. :-)
Some times we are just too blinking nice, thats what god gave us elbows for. :-o

I wish they would introduce singles lanes in more European resorts, allowing you to fill up spaces on the lift, they work well in the states.
I've seen a few about, hopefully they'll spread.
