9 days to go...

Posted by AlanHayes 29th March 2009

With the season closing in Schladming in just 9 days we have had a big rush of people trying to squeeze in a second weeks skiing or just a weekend away, we are now manic with at least one or two airport transfers every day and loads of late bookings we have found accommodation for- between this, the kids and the property management my ski time has really suffered!

The snow is still plentiful on the north slopes and looks set to last even with the predicted 20 degrees this weekend.

We went night sledging last night on the Hochwurzen with my cousin and the kids, the conditions were perfect with cold clear skies and a quick icy track- after a couple of Schnaps in the Kleiner Hochwurzen it was really exciting. We finished with a great meal in the Tauernalm (pictured!!).

One of the Irish guests said he had seen on you tube a guy racing from top to bottom on the Planai in just 11 minutes with a camera so I have been fiinishing each ski time with a top to bottom blast- best time between 4.3 and 5 minutes (sorry my watch is a bit crap). Not sure my ankles will last another 9 days
