The 6 day overdue Franz Bode Brown means no glacier skiing for a while yet

Many of the lifts are now closed over here in Innsbruck although there are a few ski regions that are still open including Ischgl which will be hosting a Kylie concert at the start of May. The glaciers over here are in absolutely superb shape. We had clients recently at the Stubai Glacier and they described the conditions as the best they had ever experienced. For me it is a short break between the end of the season, some glacier skiing and the start of planning for the coming winter. Plans that are currently a bit on hold as I await the arrival of my first child – currently 6 days overdue. The current names in the hat are Franz Bode Brown for a boy and Renate Brown for a girl. During the wait I am designing some new camera accessories that I intend to utilise in the filming of the ski areas over the next year. There are some great online resources that I am currently modifying to fits our needs, I am really hoping for some great results from the new gear.

    are you building a crib?

    No, but longer term if he or she shows a penchant for ski jumping / freestyle skiing then I have thought about some sort of ramp off the balcony and into the garden. There will be a few interested parties in this sort of development so I can’t say it is a banker but one for the list at least.

    franz/renate really seem to enjoy their current hangout place. very understandable. if there still would be snow on the ground the situation would be different. good luck for tonights game!

    …if there was snow on the ground then maybe Franz oder Renate might be delayed in meeting their dad – not sure that one would go down to well though.
