[quote="AtlasLazzurs" post=13237]Haha, i'm absolutely not knocking it

. We bought a crate of the cans because they were cheap and wanted to try them out...We went back for 6 crates the day after

...Which was a great and terrible idea...Our accom. was about 200m up quite a steep hill and we only had 3 us carrying them

I am back now, after a 23 hour trip from Austria to the UK, after a week (which should have been two) i have learn't alot and having finally gone down a red route "to try it" as my very last slope of the week i finally realize that once you get off blue, things kinda gradually get more and more suicidal. Did not realize at how tireing skiing can be and having gone like 3,000m down hill i was in bits at the end. There is a black / diamond route from the very very top (would take about less then an hour to gondola / chair lift up) to the very bottom and said route goes along it with my route being one of many "chicken" runs, and i must say - once you go down black there is no going back and having took a wrong turn for about 300m it was the worst 300m of my life, and we are talking cliff edges here... finally found my way back onto the blue/red route via a chicken run and straight over an edge, only just managed to grip into the hill and S-down it, and some people were just bombing it down with no care in the world... amount of people falling over... skiis flying, poles rolling...bodies flaying it was like a scene from a james bond movie except that as soon as i hit the teeny-weeniest of bumps across a slope my legs went, i un-naturally leaned back and that was me... going down hill while looking like i was taking a shit and flaying my arms in-mid fall / get back up - hit another bump and i just became superman for the next god knows how many hundreds of meters. Finally got my life together, got back on the skiis, went down another 200-300m drop and sailed into the mid-way station (2300m above sea level) looked down hill towards the bottom, saw the route - fucked it off, went to the bar at mid way and got a beer and then took the gondola down which took 10 minutes. (The rest of the way includes cliff-edges / turns on a wall of snow over cliff edges, traverses, jumps over drops , jumps and a general cluster fuck of suicidal people)
All in all a really good trip, although i will never get out of my head the following songs :
ich bien solo and eeeeey helikoptar!!
and people shouting LOS GEHTS! and everyone saying "ahlooooo"
And stigel, +100000000000000000000000, good recommendation it fueled many a drunken adventures, especially into innsbruck and the likes. Really cheap but really helpful on the road to shit-faced. And i feel your pain regarding hills in Austria in reference to accom, some of them hills.... then again we had 2 4x4 and a mini bus and lets just say they were full of other "supplies" :woohoo:
