 despite the challenge of riding at -22 degrees there were the occasional manmade obstacles such as ROADS that you had to cross!!  :laugh:

this is me.... doing it correctly... ie time the cars... point the board.... and commit

Stayed in Kitzbuhel, proper posh resort covered in bentleys, porches, astons and expensive shops.

I did dump 900 euros in the casino but that was small change compared to the majority who were throwing down 50k a hand!

More of a skiers resort but some killer boarding none the less

Very jealous!

Most winters I try and visit the Tirol; we stay in Scheffau which isn't far from Kitzbuhel (in fact I think the lift pass we buy lets you ski across to Kitzbuhel, but you'd have to make a day or so of it!).

Nice pictures too, makes me wish I could have gone this year  :sad1:

NIce pics there, I need to take more pics when I go, but lest we forget to lol.

Ischgl is full of money too, full of russian oligarchs with 20 y/o supermodel wives!!, was in the hugo boss shop eyeing up a nice shirt (a snip at £150) when a russian chap walked in dragging his knuckles across the floor, his wife looked like she was half his age and belonged on a model runway (she was extremely fit!), she laid a coat down on the counter (had fur of some sort obviously!) and I could not believe it when it came upto 14000 euro (For a coat!!!!), some serious money there.


A few days later were in an apres bar and sat on next table was a group of 6 teenage russian girls (probably from 14-17 y/o) and one of them asked her dad for some money for vodka, he pulled out this wad of 100 euro notes and gave her a wad of them, she went a bought a LARGE bottle of vodka (must ahve been a 5 litre bottle) whicch cost her 1000 euros, me and my mate could only laugh!.

I am going snowboarding again on 11th March, cant wait to thrash the wax off my K2 Recon Riser S Class board again (165), theres an APP on pihone called les2alpes which is a GPS app (FREE) and records your total descents, distance travelled etc etc, but more inporttantly your top speed!!, I managed 53.3mph in december so im going to try and best that  :happy2:
