Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Yes the week has gone far to fast, next year we'll hopefully back for more!!! snowHead Thank you all for wishing us a safe trip home, it was very nice of you! Very Happy

Today we had our last run down from the Achter Jet, Minimum_2 and I bombed down really fast nearer the bottom of the run, and at the top of the run we did lots of fun skiing just off the edge of the piste.
For lunch we stopped at the Auhofalm again and had chicken, ribs and chips, which were delicious, then for dessert we had Kaiserschmarrn! I think that it is the best restaurant on the mountain!!! Very Happy

Once again I would just like to thank Scarpa and kooky for skiing with us, and all of you SH's out there for reading and replying to this thread.

Minimum_1! you missed out the apres bar action!
As well as the usual singing and dancing a group at the next table invited me to knock over (domino style) miniatures of Jagermeister into glasses part filled with Red Bull making a Jagerbomb. I managed to knock over all ten bottles into the glasses in one knock and I got a lound cheer. Megamum who claims not to like Jagermeister was offered a glass and swigged at least half of the cup before giving it to FraserP. It was Megamum's first Jagerbomb but probably not her last! wink

Back to the skiing. This morning we went down the Rote 8er (recommended by Kooky) good natural snow and a hint of fresh stuff in some places. There was the compulsory gluhwein for Megamum at the half way station. Toofy Grin

After lunch which minimum_1 told you about we skied the Acterjet side of the hill for the rest of the day.

I've had aa great time this holiday but now we have to go home. Sad
Hope we come here next year Smile
Scarpa you had better watch out! wink Very Happy Laughing

Kooky you were correct, the rote8er did ski much better first thing this morning Very Happy There was a light dusting of fresh in most places, but sections of that run appeared to have had a couple of inches, it wasn't constant, but occasionally you rounded a corner and there was thin blanket of fresh just waiting to be skied.

We finished off our last lunch with the kids favourite meal of rottiserie chicken and ribs in the Auhofalm followed by Kaiserschmarmn. It's a lovely bar/restaurant half way down the reds under the flying mozart lift and I would recommend it to anyone coming out here - fabulous quality facilities, friendly staff and great food - self service and restaurant and the best rest rooms on the mountain IMHO. (Though on the whole the places we have been to last year and this do seem to have those facilities sussed, all varying from good to superb which is a huge plus when you have kids who like things like that to be nice and clean). Today we got complimentary Williams shots and sweets for the kids today as we had been in regularly this week. Very Happy

Lots of interesting action in the umbrella bar near the Achterjet tonight. A tray of B52's burning with a pale blue flame, drunks standing on the bar, myself being welcomed to cement Anglo-German relations with three mature men from Frankfurt Shocked, and as mentioned above fighting to avoid causing offence when the party of young chaps behind me slapped a Jagerbomb into my hand Laughing Where is Kooky when I need her?!! Honestly Minimum_2's face was a picture - he had sat enthralled as the bar staff set up the Jagermeister topple - carefully balancing all the little green bottles above the glasses, the chaps who had ordered it spotted his interest and, as he describes above, invited him to start the topple, with a bit of encouragement from me that he really could do so, he gamely reached over and pushed the first one - every bottle went down to a huge cheer and his face......well.......you had to be there Laughing

Minimums, I hope you share your lunch or you'll be turning into balloons. Austrian portions for a main and kaiserschmarrn is impressive tucking away action!

I'm like Megamum, not a fan of Jaegermeister or red bull but will happily slug a jäger bomb or two.

hammerite, All back home now Sad Just been going through photos and videos Very Happy Yes, I completely agree about Austrian portions, we found two plates of main and 4 sets of cutlery and one Kaiserschmarmn between 4 was quite sufficient to feed all 4 of us, making lunch for 4 including pudding come in at around 28 Euros, which I think was very good value to feed 4 of us each day for lunch, and sometimes it came in at less than that if we had Goulash soup and rolls.

You must. I skied in Austria last year and had to go back for a sneaky trip in November. I can't for the life of me understand why I hadn't been back for over 20 years. Embarassed I promise it won't happen again. Madeye-Smiley Staying away that is, not skiing there again. Little Angel

Pedantica, I have a sweet tooth and in recent trips have just ignored the savoury stuff and gone straight for kaiserschmarrn, germknoddel or strudel straight off. Made the mistake of having main and pudding once but can't be doing feeling like Mr Blobby all afternoon.

Sadly if it's put in front of me I have to eat it, can't let anything go to waste!

hammerite, I had THE best Kaiserschmarrn at New Year in the Purzelbaum, Flachau, I must go back and see if it was just a special for that night or if it is their usual recipe. It was served in the pan with thinly sliced apple and roasted walnuts........drools

hammerite, We liked most of the the meals we have tried, but felt that Germknoddel was an aquired taste. I'd far rather have a lovely plate of hot steaming kaiserschmarrn with sauce, ideally made from plums (though we also saw it served with apple sauce too).

N.B I have it on good authority that if you are male it is quite an 'interesting' experience to visit the gents 'facilities' in the Auhofalm. If it is like the ladies 'facilities' it will be up to 'loo of the year' standard, but apparently it has a certain 'je ne sais quois' about it.
