26.11.2009 19:00 to 23:00
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Drinks/Bar
Meeting Point: Shamrock Irish pub

On the back of the success of the 1st one were we had a full house, here is the next one.

This is a chance for skiers and boarders to meet, exchange ideas, arrange trips, anything that will allow us to get the most out of the season. Ability levels are not important, just turn up and meet others who want to have fun on the slopes

There will be a qualified ski instructor from the SSS at Flumserberg coming so if you haven't skied before, and want advice or to get group or private lessons, he's the guy to speak to. There will also be people of varying ages and experience there to chat to about snowsports, resorts etc.... there may even be sledgers for Uncle Max

Also folks who are upgrading their kit and have some that is still useable and want to sell/give it away then bring it along. If you have any questions in advance please don't be afraid to ask in the thread or via PM.

I look forward to another fun night, and seeing some of you on the piste.... or apres.

'Tash I was starting to sweat there, the thread had been open for a while and you hadn't responded. I thought maybe you were still holding the Austrian ski team hostage until you got satisfaction.... or a free jacket

Re: Ski social v2

Yes, I was in Austria for the weekend.

What I thought was going to be an awesome gang bang, and a great start to my mating season turned into me and 5 couples up the mountain in a remote hut.

Was like Bridget Jones, but in German .

Re: Ski social v2

Hey Goosey: if it is same night as curry night, then maybe we should change the date if curry was organised first?

I think we need to adhere to the needs of all social butterflies, such as moi.

Yeah we are squeezed between live big screen football nights and the weekends unfortunately, so not much room to play with.

Up to you, but the night would not be the same without J.L-Ps' puppies.

Re: Ski social v2

Just bumping this event, especially to encourage all those newbies to come out. A great way to meet the EF ski crowd, who go out of their way to get you ready for the season and whom welcomed this newbie to the fraternity in ski social #1 (special thanks to Papa G, Natasha and Eire).

Besides, it provides a great opportunity to vent on the unfairness of the Rockies getting blitzed with snow while we sit here in the fog hitting the refresh button on the 5 day snow report

Re: Ski social v2

I'd be there, but I'm not moving over till Jan

So if there's going to be a V3 (there is isn't there ?) I will need someone to point me in the direction of the mountains! I'm a bit rusty so it would be great to get some pointers on where to go to find my feet (some nice blues) etc.


(PS I think Bridget jones did go skiing in Austria - I vaguely remember the pharmacy scene - Bridget standing there trying to mime that she might be mit bebe).
