I don't change my personality or musical taste when I go skiing, so I don't feel the need to adhere to the cliche of the MW/KK apres scene. Cultural fascism isn't pleasant, so please don't presume to tell me what I do and don't like.
Quiet/mellow/chilled out/sophisticated/intelligent conversation drinking, when done immediately after skiing, is also apres. If the kids and the "one week of freedom a year so I'm going to act like I did when I was 20" brigade want to do that then great, it leaves more space in the decent bars for me and my mates to stretch out in. |
You've misunderstood what I mean.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with not liking apres, and wanting something quieter. That's up to you and what you prefer.
But apres isn't just the translation of 'after skiing' - it is a certain type of partying/drinking. Doesn't matter to me whether you like it or not!

That's your subjective view on it, and it's specifically an Austrian view. Perhaps a new word is required for Austrian Apres as opposed to generic apres. Preferably a German word, not a French one.

I think you'll find it's quite boisterous in Italy, Andorra, Swtizerland....and I've dj'ed to full on crowds in Val Thorens (Rendez-Vous) Alp D'Huez (The Undergound) (The bar of Le Sporting to a 90% gay crowd) and that was playing proper house music at about 5 O'Clock when I finished skiing myself.
So don't give it borders....Apres in whatever form is borderless, that's what makes is great.....Brits dancing with Irish, French dancing Germans, Italians dancing with Russians......if you fancy a nice glass of wine/beer and a sit down after your day on the mountain, great......it's the same as Mick from Dublin or Antonio from Rome like being up on the table pretending they know the words to a techno-ed up version of a German bierhalle sing-a-long.
Could be worse???.....you could be at home while we're all here.

Moose all the way. Unless I'm in Schladming or Hintertux then it's the Tenne. Mayrhofen the Bruckenstadl ....... I could go on.
As for the apres question in general, yes you can apres anywhere, but in Austria it is APRES !!!
A bit like choosing between a green run or a nice big fat steep and deep off pisty beasty.

Samerberg Sue, superior to whom? To people who like to dance on tables? Not at all (I was one once, probably will be again). To people who have a myopic view of the world and a prescribed way things must be done? Most certainly.

Dear Dr John,
Austria is a democractic republic. You can go to which ski bar you please. If you don't like a particular ski bar you are free to leave. There are no laws that say Apres Ski must be conducted in a specific way.
There was once a bloke who used to write in and complain that bare female breasts were being shown on a particular TV program. He watched the program every week without fail. You somehow remind me of him.
Yours
DB

DB, that's quite hilarious, you couldn't have miss-understood more if you'd sat down and had a good hard think about it. I have the temerity to suggest that there are way's of enjoying apres other than dancing on a table listening to techno-oompha music and get pilloried for it. Burn the heretic!

When I go to St Anton I don't normally get plastered in the Mooserwirt either (unless it's the last night  ), it's normally a couple in the Underground on the piste because I'm there to ski with a guide. People enjoy different things in different ways, as long as it doesn't affect me - live and let live. Don't see much point bitching about it, if you don't like Austrian Apres Ski (unlike millions of others) there's always France or Hemel.

DB, which is precisely what I've been saying all along, each to their own. Difference is I stated that I'd prefer not to do the KK/MW thing, that's all. If you don't want to hear (or read, in this case) other peoples opinions what are you doing reading an open internet message board?

No you've said the people who don't enjoy apres ski as you do are "not in their right mind" as if your choice is correct or superior in comparison to theirs. Where did I say I didn't want to read your posts?

Rumbled? Eh? For what exactly? I stated a preference of type of apres, but was told if I'm not dancing on a table then I'm not doing apres. You and I both disagree with that, and we both agree that apres can and does take many forms. Where DB and his breasts comes into it lord only knows.

If that's referring to my comments, equally you couldn't have misunderstood me more. Enjoy whatever you want after skiing, it makes no difference to me as long as everyone's having fun. But 'Apres' is that couple of hours partying after skiing, and the Mooser embodies it pretty well.

Don't want to drag this out any longer and hope this is my last post on the subject but just to explain.
The man didn't have to watch the program with the bare breasts, there were other programs without nudity but he did so every week and then complained about it every week. Likewise there are other quiter Apreski bars, there are other countries where Apreski isn't so wild (some would say not as much fun) as in Austria.

Moose!
Speaking of Austrian Cheese I was sorely disappointed to find the Brück'n Stadl
in the Hoff had morphed into a gigantic souless barn during the summer. It's forced me to do what I said I'd never do and frequent the Eisbar

KK for the fact that the table dancers came inside and danced on our tables, which prompted various women in the group I was in to attempt to emulate them, which also involved the removal of clothing. This motivational behaviour by the Kangaruh's staff can only be described as above and beyone the call of duty. Thank you, ladies. Your help was appreciated. I doubt I would have got laid without you (and the shots. They helped too).
However, The Mooserwirt is, well, The Mooserwirt. There's nowhere else on earth I have broken my hand while competing in an air guitar competition, whilst wearing my ski boots (never have a fat German woman stand on your hand, while wearing her ski boots - probably advice that will do you well in life generally, and not just the MW). It holds a special place in my heart.
As the apres ski/to not apres ski debate "raging" in this thread - surely, to each their own?

FAQ
I like a laugh at the Mooserwirt but I do not drink to excess. I did not like the KK the last time I went there but it was end of season and between owners. So I did not post one way or the other. You felt that you just had to point out that this was not your cup of tea and have subsequently dug yourself into a bigger and bigger hole. A lot of people like one or the other or, heaven forbid, both
