Hey Ho!
On monday (02.01.06) this week we (Krebs, Brendel and myself) arrived very well at our hometowns after an 10 hour bus-trip.
Now I try to report a little bit about our skiing-alkoholican-non-girls-adventure :)
We started on monday the 26th and arrived La Plagne (France) in 8 hours. The bus-driver was really funny and drove all the time with high speed. Only a few guys behind my seat, nerved quite a bit. They drank the whole journey ASBACH with COLA and were totally drunken. Then we put all our stuff in the appartment. It was very small, but nice (4 beds, one cooker and a freezer for the beer). First, after all these hectic situations, we needed a few beers. I could say that beer would be our basic food for the next 7 days.
Beer or water? - that's the question :)
The next day we took part in Ski-Guiding for getting more orientation in this Ski-Area but it wasn't very helpfull because our guide was overcharged. As a result of this we left the group after dinner and drove without any aim through the hole area!
nice weather but cold temperatures
During the first few days the weather was very good but clowds appeared always after 1 o'clock and the wind started to blow. But we didn't stopped skiing because we knew that this weather promises sth. positive, too --> more snow. It was really needed because you drove on ice and not on snow. The temperatures moved in a level between -10 and -20 degrees.
Benjamin and the SNOW^^
And Brendel, too
Then, in the evening, I don't know what kind of day it was, we went to a nice bar called "Les
Shooters". This was our most famous bar but it was very expensive: you needed to pay 5€ for a beer O.O!
Le Shooters
The next day we went to the Glacier which lies 3250m above sea-level. It was really cold there but the sun was presented...it was the most amazing moment of the trip because you could see the clowds under you. You needed to drive 30 minutes with a gondola to get there and you were marked of any kind of civilization. If an accident happened you could only be rescued by an helicopter. But now I talked too much, let's have a look at these impressive pictures:
Yeah, the Glacier :)
The way to the Glacier
Nice, or?
The best picture :)
Also important was the Après-Ski after a nice day of skiing! H2O organized that very well and sold a lot of Glühwein again :)

Here are some shots of the skiing (not that you think we were drunken all the time) :
Krebs in his element!

And Krebs did it right :)
On December the 31th the weather was really bad. It snowed the whole day and the wind was really strong! The party on silvester wasn't good because it started very late (I guess at 11 o'clock) and because of the superior number of men there! You could think that you are on an AUGSBURG-GAY-PARTY! Ok, I overdraw. Luckily we had enough beer, so we imported it with our trouser-bags in the pub. As a result of this it made fun to dance between a lof of men, too!
Snowstorm!
Don't look at my nose O.O!
Silvester O.o!
Silvester again (look how many men there are^^)
The next morning!
New year was the best day of the whole week! Warm temperatures (-5 degrees) and really fine and enough snow! As you guess it was very difficult to wake up in the morning because of the happy-new-year party! But we managed it to stay on our Skis at 12 o'clock. Damn I forgot my camera! It's always the same shit, the best moments can't be documented.
We enjoyed this day and packed our stuff in the evening because the next day was time for leaving. On that day the bus had 2 hours retardition and we had to stay all these 2 hours outside in the snow, I can tell you that it was very cold ;)
At 12 o' clock we started the journey back home and arrived in Mannheim at 10 ö'clock in the evening. That's all, I hope you all had such funny holidays, too and a nice happy new year!
