Planai - Schladming "4 Berg Schishaukel" - "4 mountain ski swing"!
Should be : "Freeride paradise where the locals never leave the piste"

Ah, you see, that's useful to know. But it's a good thing it's not advertised!

Why is everything in Austria either a "Ski Circus" or a "Snow El Dorado"? Neither of which actually make a whole lot of sense, if you think about it.

skiking4, Depends on what you're measuring. It is, I believe, the largest linked area, in that you can ski it all without removing your skis. The Porte du Soleil, for example, has a larger area covered by a single lift pass, but you need to take a bus (or walk) for some of the links.

stevomcd, I don't think so. For a start, I think an "espace" is masculine. "Le plus grand domaine" maybe?

not quite what you're looking for but Prestwick Airport's 'Pure Dead Brilliant' has got to be the worst I've seen. Basically they're saying 'Welcome to Rab C Nesbitland' |
I've just noticed this.
I totally agree - its embarrassing.

Keeping with airports, Liverpool John Lennon Airport - Above Us Only Sky (TM) goes a bit over the top with the whole Beatles theme.
And why does an airport need a tagline, anyway?

"Okemo and Killington both suck..you have to go more north in VT if u want to ride decent snow.. but SRATTON Mnt. is were it's at in the east!"
(STRATTON IS MORE SOUTH THAN KTON... AND IT GETS MUCH LESS SNOW THAN THE KTON!!!!)
"Mount Sunapee has much better snow than Killington and has been awarded such for 3 years running. Of course they also own Okemo but I think Mount SUnapee is better than Okemo..."
(MT SUNAPEE GETS LESS SNOW THAN KTON)
"dude alyeska in alaska beats all of these resorts. alyeska has more black diamonds and double black diamonds than any other resort in the us. not only that they have a 5 star hotel and spa for the ladies if they arent down for the snow. super fun!!"
(ALYESKA HAS MUCH LESS BLACK AND DUB BLACK RUNS THAN OTHER RESORTS!!!)
"Some women go skiing to meet wealthy guys. I'm living large because of the wonderful and wealthy man I met. "
