I just heard the other day that the Austrian ski team is training in Canada.   (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

yepp - that's because the next couple of FIS Worlcup races are in Canada and the States, so they can prepare best to the conditions there and will have no problems with jet-leg and such things
the Austrian Ski Team is a group of perfectionists
that's why they win that much and so often (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I wish we had more villages like that ...

this is the largest village in western part of Tirol
AFAIK in whole Tirol it's the 4th largest village

we have about 14,500 inhabitants
20 years ago we had about 7,000 inhabitants (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I've been to Graz. Beautiful country. I work for an Austrian company owned by Germans. Basically, I work with a bunch of Austrians. They are all from Styria I think. They have an interesting work ethic at our Graz office. They spend all day monday drinking coffee and smoking to recover from the weekend. Tues, Wed, and Thurs, they work. Thursday night they get drunk. Fri they drink coffee and smoke and leave the office by 12:00. Maybe I am just jealous?

I didn't think there was such a thing as a non-skiing Austrian.

BTW I keep some good Austrian Schnapps around for special occasions.

maybe I should move to Styria and join this company (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

In Alaska, that amount of snow would be called a "terminal dusting" and say winter is coming....

Usually at the end of August to mid September....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
