This is known as low intensity conflict.

Don`t worry about ,There are restriction everywhere including in EF

Your right im a little early just something that came up yesterday. I am plagurising another EF person with what was a great wind up to the rest of the people skiing, so couldn't resist.

I think all Brits should be exempt as auslanders anyway as far as the piste quota is concerned.

As far as recreational skiing in Swizerland is concerned (and possibly all downhill skiing as a tourist activity) the infrastructure only was started in the 1910s because of the Brits coming over and taking it up.

I read somewhere that it all started in Murren (even before Sir Arnold Lunn).

I think it is Mürren only, but you are correct, Brits are involved in the start of alpine winter tourism

"
St. Moritz is first mentioned around 1137-39 as ad sanctum Mauricium.[1] The town was named after Saint Maurice, a Coptic Orthodox and Roman Catholic saint.

Although it received some visitors during the summer, the origins of the winter resort only date back to September 1864, when St. Moritz hotel pioneer, Johannes Badrutt, made a wager with four British summer guests: that they should return in winter and if it was not to their liking, he would pay for the cost of their journey from London and back. If they found St. Moritz attractive in winter, he would invite them to stay as his guests for as long as they wished.[2] This marked not only the start of winter tourism in St. Moritz but the start of winter tourism in the whole of the Alps."

Doc.

Not wanting to sound like Dougal's Breakfast, but put simply, all Brits should be exempt, all of the time.

Period. No discussion. No ands or buts. End of...

Thank you for your attention.

Some additional information here :

things would begin to change from 1860 onwards with the emergence of modern downhill skiing. In 1902, Berne and Glarus would host the first downhill and ski jumping competitions. Skiing only became a truly mass-market sport in Switzerland after 1920.

In the mid-19th century, a number of hotels began cropping up in Mürren, a remote mountain village in the Bernese Alps, aided no doubt by the arrival of the railways in 1889. This made it possible for tourists to travel with ease from Lauterbrunnen to Mürren. Sir Arnold Lunn chose Mürren as the venue for the first ever slalom skiing race, held in 1922. Not only did this Englishman invent the slalom, he was also the brains behind the legendary “Inferno Race”, the largest and most challenging amateur ski race in the world (Schilthorn – Lauterbrunnen). In 1931, three years after the first Inferno race was held, the Lauterbrunnen valley was host to be the venue for another first – the World Ski Championships.

With the initial 645km of the Swiss rail network designed by the two British engineers Robert Stephenson and Henry Swinburne. Maybe Brits should also be given priority seats on trains over other auslanders

They pulled me over yesterday and booked me for skiing with my knees straight, despite my medical certificate stating that I can't ski properly.

Only just got bailed...

How mean was that of them?!?!?!?
.

Looks from these posts that the sport of skiing was influenced by auslanders. Just another sport partly invented by the english that we are completely useless at.

You ski like a penguin then, they don't have knees.
Hope the 'company' in your cell was gentle with you.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough - I meant of course the following:

All Brits should be exempt, all of the time from everything.

(I thought that would be inherent )

I mean, asking for passports and visas and whatnot on entry to colonies like the USA and Australia... Pah! What's that all about?

Baselstadt has ski slopes?

Talking of which, does anyone remember Murun Buchstansangur?
