I'll start things of: Does anyone know what hangs above the bar in The Alpincentre in Kaprun?

Thanks, I think! The answer for those interested is Felix Baumgartner's wing from his cross channel flight. Not something you see every day.

It is the colloquial term used to describe how people used to get down mountains before carving skis :
"He skid down the mountain"
Hence why so many people think a skidded turn is a perfectly valid manoeuvre
