Following a relaxed if enjoyable Skigloo party on the weekend the dice man and his weapons of mass destruction have now left Austria. Bar owners the length of the Tirol are counting the cost of the departure of a man who has in the past been single-handedly capable of keeping local economies afloat. Whilst the [...]
After repair work and testing of the Skigloo, the famed après ski dwelling is open to friends again this Saturday, 14:00 CET. The meeting point will be the Sonnalm, Axamer Lizum, Innsbruck, Austria at 13:30 CET. See you there.
The Skigloo, appreciated locally for its salubrious properties is back in action high above Innsbruck. With the recent huge snow falls the roof had suffered considerable bowing under the massive weight. The result was a ceiling height that went from 2m to 30cm and the strangest inverted domed ceiling you could imagine. After repair work [...]
You kind of know something is amiss when a bloke dressed as a caveman beats the bar in front of you with a raw pigs’ leg. At one point the leg even hung from a shrieking mouth – I trust it was very fresh? In a country that on the face of things can be [...]

Well I was asked to bring my après ski ‘A’ game to Kitzbuhel and Friday and that I did. John M and team were over on their annual pilgrimage to the snow. The reaction of Streifalm bar staff upon their arrival was something akin to the reception David Beckham must get upon walking into a [...]
Some good friends / clients of ours are in Kitzbuhel this week on a wellness / ski holiday. The plan was to go and help one of the group with a couple of ski issues and then enjoy a quiet beer. After injuring my back I have been unable to ski since last weekend and [...]

Only open since last winter the Leuchtturm (light house) après ski bar at the Gotzens base station above Innsbruck is rapidly becoming one of the best après ski venues in the Innsbruck ski region. The regular events year round make for some great nights and the mix of locals and visitors can create a really [...]
