This has to be the ultimate 'lunch-priority' ski article ...
An Unusual Day In St. Moritz, by Bob Enzel
... culminating in blind panic on a Swiss railway platform:
Quote: |
We sprinted to the station where our ski equipment hapharzardly lay in a flat-bed truck. No time to sort skis and boots by owner, so we grabbed all of them and literally chucked them onto the train through any open doorway. |
Quote: |
No one was unhappy with the day. Not even hard-core skiers. |
Quality!

I've only been there twice. Once in 1980 to ski and once about ten years later in late spring while doing a bit of a drive on those nice windy roads. It's one of those places where you feel more like just hangin' out than doing anything too active. All them fur coats and small dogs do yer head in.

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

It's true. When you see a dog ordering from the a la carte menu, you know you're in St Moritz.

Sorry, I cannot and will not accept that "hard-core skiers" would enjoy a day like that - sounds like a nightmare to me!

It may have been a mis-type for 'lard-core skiers'

I love a good shop and a long lunch - but that day sounds rubbish.

To each their own I suppose.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I don't think it's a bad idea at all actually, there's a lot to be said for promoting the idea that speed isn't everything. It was the "puts the fun back into skiing" bit that I thought was weird. If it's not fun, why bother?
Reminds me of my most loathed expression ever - "After a hard day on the slopes"
ha! I'm cranky this morning

You know it makes sense.

Being sold lessons on a nice bit of 'special piste' and subjected to sales flannel for Palmer skis.
Wouldn't chill me out!
