 Poster: A snowHead
|
It's a place that's been mentioned (from time to time) on snowHeads over the years ...
... but has it ever been selected as the hotspot "for adrenalin junkies"?
See halfway down this article, which is imaginatively titled "On a slippery slope" [the Lancashire Evening Post clearly has a crack team of sub-editors]
http://www.lep.co.uk/what-s-on/travel-leisure/on-a-slippery-slope-1-6186348
I thought the resort in question was best known as a sliding zone for 'keen red-runners' and 'restaurant cruisers'.
Is the Lancashire Evening Post correct?

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

Funny how the reporter thinks "You wouldn’t perhaps associate new-fangled fads like snow bikes with the uber-traditional image of Austria.". I remember ski-bikes from the early seventies when I was there.

Think the Anton section is a little out of date now as the Montjola has been rented and chaletised.

I remember when my father (who had been a very good skier) had a kind of MS and couldn't ski any more, he had a go on the new ski bikes (with mini skis on the feet for ballance). That was 1960 or 1961. But as he said at the time: he had tried one in the early 1930s. Here is a photo of him on the right, back then, with his friend on a snow bike: admittedly a bit primitive, but still....

snowball,
Great pic.
In the good old days it looks like you could do everything while wearing a suit (e.g. snow bike, go sledging, ski, climb everest etc)
