Winter 2007/2008

New Innsbruck - Liverpool flights

Ski or winter breaks for you lot, choice of home matches for me...

(Now let's hope I make better choices than vs. Spurs last season!)

Awesome!! I intend on doing some moutain time this winter, although in Vermont, not Austria.

Hah, well, looking outside the window as I type it is tipping it down with snow...

Where are you off to Dylan? Killington? Stowe? Downhill or cross-country?

 

[Dylan]

Don't know yet. Never done anything on the hills of the North East. All my experiance has been in the Pacific Northwest, in the Cascades. And Whistler in British Coloumbia.

And it will be downhill. Snowboarding. Only skiied a couple of times and I prefer boarding.

 

[Dylan]

Oh, and I am jealous of you with the snow. Spent 3 years in Hawaii so I can't wait for the snow to come!

 

[atrottel]

You young and trendy poser on a board...

As far as I've heard, lots of steep icy bumps in the Northeast
(I spent my time in Colorado where it was nice and fluffy.)

Just lacing up my Sorels for the first time this season:

 

[Dylan]

Oooo, those are nice. How much they run you?

 

[atrottel]

About 100 Euros, if I remember rightly (around $150?). Worth every penny when you are clearing snow, though!

Not long before another fun packed rib breaking tourist ski season starts mate.

That Easyjet flight is a nice touch.

Still got to finish the summer and make sure none of my walking groups slip off the sides of mountains yet...

(counts down...only 10 more walking days)

 

[chicoazul]

Ah - the life of a guide.

Unappreciated and underpaid. I feel your pain brother.

 

[atrottel]

Rather you than me with the hurricanes, though.

Do you yodel atro?

Hurricanes just need love.

Going ten weeks without snow with thousands of holiday makers scares me more.

Its ok, we have a non snow programme available for you"

 

[atrottel]

Do you yodel atro?

Only when the lederhosen pinch...

Nah, I leave that to the Tyroleans, they're very good at doing that folklore stuff. On the other hand, she yodels very well:
