What do you do at night?

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 20:48:14 GMT

Following on from my earlier post about what you do on the first day, thought it might e interestting to what you do after the first days skiing?

For me, I always say that I will be sensible as there is a long day ahead tomorrow. Then the apres ski starts, beer gets flowing and it gets messy. In the morning I always find that a bit of fresh air clears the gills :)

When in Val Thorens I have been known to do the Apres ski mid mountain at La Folie Douce and ski back in the fading light - dark...

Or the Krazy Kangaru/Moosewirt in St Anton

But now I am 'old' in might be a hot chocolate in a cafe and a crepe :oops:

Yeah that's what we say each year now we are mid 40's, strangely enough it ends up with too much beer.

I like to meet with local people, hence I always ask at the accommodation which is the best bar to meet locals. I have returned to the same places in St Anton, Scheffau, Soll, Zermatt apart from my regular villages, and locals will just turn and shake your hand.

It has become difficult in my regular village because there are dozens of places that I must visit. There is only so much cocoa that a man can take....
Our group considered the Moosewirt quite boring,although my late departed ski buddy Mel, had a bad record of skiing off the roof and down the steps.He was such a steady skier, our Mel....

I imagine you would be better received than a young English man!

I thought your normal modus operandi was to take two girls on ski holidays?

I'm off to Lech/St Anton in Jan, and I must be getting old as I really don't fancy the Kangaru or Mooswirt.....I've always preferred smaller bars.

We usually have a few beers before heading back and after a shower and food it tends to be crash out time and out come the spirits! I do a pub quiz for the group every year whether they like it or not, so that takes up an evening, it's pretty good fun watching the group go from not caring to being ultra competitive!!! Just like being on the slopes......

Answer complete.

We always have a beer on the way back to the hotel, dinner and then we go for a walk and that also usually ends with a drink somewhere. Not very often we have big nights out anymore, can't do that and ski the next day.

Ah, Nelly, a good strategy. And you DO meet a better class of person in doing so!

I'm with Nelly on the "cant do big nights out any more". Not sure about meeting different classes of people though????

Stop for drink or two on the way to chalet, then have dinner either at home or out, then go out but usually back by midnight. Unless it's during half-terms and conditions are not great - skied out off-piste and very busy pistes, then we can hit a night club. Also during holidays we take a break after first four days and also may go out till later. We do massive apres ski session once a month too, back by nine... But if it's snowing no-one goes out. Few seasons ago I was ready to go out but it started snowing so I got changed and went to bed to make the first lift...
