The Skigloo 09/10?
There is much talk of rekindling the Skigloo for the coming winter – the swingometer has moved slightly positive again after I finally managed to get my health cover to pay for the couple of hours on a drip in Innsbruck hospital for a back injury sustained during construction of the Skigloo. I have no idea what the cost to productivity the Skigloo brought to the Tirol over the last winter, suffice it to say who ever entered the Skigloo paid a dear price in terms of health. It was a great addition to Innsbruck skiing and I really hope we can get something going for the coming winter. One thing that is for sure, if we can get the Skigloo up and running there will be some après Skidiots footage to be aired.

I was actually asking myself a couple of days ago whether there would be a skigloo again this winter season. I really enjoyed the times working on it and then there was of course the famous opening party with the great romance corner that didn’t really work. The best thing for this year would be to get some cheap labor to help build it and also build it a little bit different. Let me call my dad to see if he can help with the cheap labor issue. Or does Hitech Export provide skIgloo building services?
Yes I would love another skigloo but it was a huge amount of work and if I am honest there is a 1% chance of it happening.
