 Poster: A snowHead
|
I used to take a bath for about an hour then just smoke and fall asleep..
Nowadays I'd rather jump in the shower, make myself a beasty sandwich, get in the comfiest clothes I own, then read.
I've actually got into a weird habit of reading magazines- I find it nicer than reading anything off of a screen. Something to do with the physicality I think. They're pretty pricey so I'm always going on subscription websites like http://www.magazine.co.uk/ and rinsing their special offers which are like 3 months of magazines for £1.
I was born a bargain hunter! Skiing costs enough as it is 
So... what gets you going after an exhausting day?

Normally a little wine, a hot shower and spending the time to read a forum description to make sure what I've posted makes sense.

Well I don't experience off piste skiing, but after a day on-piste if I can I do like to swim, then a good meal followed by a session chatting and drinking with friends would be a good night.

My preference is the sauna/steam bath, preferably in a really nice child-free environment like the Sauna areas in the Austrian/German Therme, then an ice dip and wrap up in my robe and take a snooze. Then eat, and couple of beers or some nice wine while I read. Then when the food is digested, early to bed and catch up on my Zzzzzzzzzs. Bit of a lightweight really

Couldn't understand why everyone was referring to off piste. I geddit now. Shows that I pay zero attention to which forum something is posted in. Oh, and for the avoidance of doubt, my evening ends with food and more drink too.

Well, first you pick the kids up from ski school, carry their skis back to the locker, swift beer while they watch cartoons (Sally Bollywood nah nah na nana nah nah), then an hour or so swimming, night time procession/ fireworks/carnival/ski school whatever, schnapps or something else interesting, dinner, collapse...

Shower, beer, banter, food, wine, bed.

I like to stretch, go for a warm-down run, then do half an hour of yoga before I weave myself a new llama wool pair of underpants.
Oh. Sorry, that was my otherworld telemark self. Let's try that again:
Few beers, maybe even wash, few more beers, food, wine, sleep. Or if I'm touring: stop, drink a LOT of water, eat, sleep

Sounds about right!

I must admit I have really enjoyed to stop off in the last bar at the bottom of the slope in Flachau with a riotous sing song and drinks after the last run down - def. a plus to a visit there.

Usually bottle of beer in the bath, then rest in bed for hour or so, then eat / be social. But bed usually same as home, roughly 11-12.

Lying down on the bed usually results in a post ski coma. If Carling did sleep

Exactly. That's why I try not to do it until final bedtime!

Pedantica, agreed,but it is the best power nap you will ever get. I can only compare it with full anaesthesia

Around here, normally go to work or my German course. Not so much fun lol
If I've been over in the Arlberg, few beers somewhere, last train back, fall asleep on train, wake up in Salzburg, make the last connection back to Innsbruck that night by 30 seconds, get laughed at by ticket collector (who fortunately understands the St Anton situation pretty well) when I try to explain why I don't have a ticket

Tarquin, absolutely, but you will recall we peaked too soon and missed Tim Toupet - hopefully he'll be on again this January and we can pace ourselves a bit better!
