 Poster: A snowHead

I've been browsing my WSS 2005 and was curious about Ischgl's 'wild apres' reputation, and of course the skiing terrain; have any snowheads experienced it for themselves.

IncogSkiSno, yep. It's not that wild, just plenty of boozing in lots of bars and very busy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

IncogSkiSno, the apres is intense, but the thing that had me worried was the state of the skiers coming down from the mountain on the valley run. I think there is a little bit too much pre-apres going on in Ischgl, so if you value your life, take a gondola down to the valley last thing in the afternoon!

I did the season there in 1985 and it was WILD then it has massively expnded with many.many more place to Apres Ski !
The run down was a raceway with the locals at the end of the day. Its all be tamed down in recent years including floodlights to spoil the fun

IncogSkiSno, great minds think alike. I've been wondering about going here as well. That's the trouble when you've only been skiing for a few years - you can't decide where to go, and you want to go everywhere!! I'm checking out Morzine now.

We where reading an old copy of WSS (2001 I think) and it said that it was full of Dutch and Swede drunks, last years copy seems to have played down that image a little. If you where wanting to ski there you could stay in Samnaun, which is probably a little quieter. I thought my kids may like it, may not have enough tree lined runs for my liking though.
erica2004, We've skied PDS, I think you'd like it. We only skied into Morzine but didn't stop, so I can't comment on that. Vast area with Alpine charm and tree lined runs. Megeve also v good, as I've probably already mentioned.

IncogSkiSno,
The Scandinavians have a huge foothold in Ischgl, they tend to stick to themselves & get wasted in there apartments & chalets. The Dutch are not used to drinking Pints so give them more than two there history

stanton, A 17 year old Dutch lad latched onto our family whilst in Austria a few years ago, he was totally mad, but he could certainly drink flugles into the wee small hours - he gave my eldest son a run for his money.

IncogSkiSno,
Yeah but its legal to drink at 16 over here so I guess were more practised . I expect this 17 yr old still felt like poo-poo the following morning

stanton, I don't think drinking illegally at 16yrs hinders British lads from practising the art of getting p!$$ed.
