1/4 of an inch

We were so close to the unimaginable we could feel the tension in the air, yes Brian the Boarder was going to give his beloved snowboard Gerald a day off and risk life and limb on a skibike. Flo from the Hotel "Alpine Palace Wolf" had kindly loaned us his Brenter skibikes for the day and Brian had decided to bite the bullet and give one a try (if only to say it was not for him yeh!) So off we went, collected the bikes and set about adjusting the foot skis to our boot size, that's when it all went pear shaped. Try as we would we could not adjust the Brenter foot skis to fit Brian's UK ski boot size 12 - we were short by 1/4 of an inch. We thought about chopping his toes off by the required amount but he rebelled at that so it's back to the drawing board. Hmm, I happen to have an old pair skis in the loft that can be cut down to size 12 boots so watch this space next year.

Mystic Band

Probably one of the most lively aspects of winter sports in Europe is the Apres Ski scene which usually takes place between 16:00 to 19:00 approx. After this time most skiers are then ready for a shower and their evening meal. The younger generation may well go on to boogie into the early hours of the morning, and there are plenty of night clubs which cater for their needs. But sometimes a late night with live music rather than loud disco music is what soothes away the aches and pains of the days skiing. Enter the "Mystic Band" from Germany who's members comprise of Juraj, Andrea and Tibor. The band were performing for a month in the cellar bar of the Hotel Glemmtallerhof a well known hotel in SAGB circles, and they provided a mix of new and old songs to get your feet tapping or even have you racing around the dance floor like John Travolta. From Austria the band move on to Switzerland. Good luck guy's we wish you well and drink a "Williams" to your continued success.
Gail & Mervyn.
PS: a Williams is a rather nice but pokey Austrian Schnapps.
