It's taken in early December and I skied there as a day trip, breakfast was a bit early and dinner was normal time at home, that should narrow it down just a bit.

Definitely Lech. Taken from near the Hotel Krone. Zürs in the valley to the left in Omeshorn, and Zug in the valley to the right.
Lovely retro photo.

@stevew, yeah it is - the description in the archive with the photo reads:
"The Ice Bar at the Hotel Krone in Lech, Austria, 1960. The mountain in the background is the Omershorn"

Too narrow and rocky above for Banane so I’d only be guessing other couloirs. I’ll guess at Banane cos it is so accessible and that pic looks well compacted. Yep, top section of Banane it is

Thanks! More luck than judgement - my heart was pounding and hands shaking after getting down that in one piece..so it was just a quick shot that worked out well.
It's a great place...will have to get back there again one day. Not sure I'll remember how to get to the top of that again though!
