The best of the best events in the year (in every year actually) took place in Kitzbühel/Kirchberg - my beloved ski resort. A place where I forget about everything and everyone. New participants are delicately chosen by established members of the team. This year's choise was wery wise - all of them fit the team perfectly!
2 cars left from Brno on Wednesday January 14th at noon. Smooth journey ended up at the foot of a Kirchberg hill, where our cars were not able to climb up the hill without snow chains. Guys had to set the chains and we finally reached our accommodation - 2 cute appartments in a sort of "Austrian farm house". We were skiing from Thursday morning till Sunday noon - conditions were excellent and weather was amiable. The scenario was again the same - having breakfast, skiing, resting, cooking dinner, drinking and talking, sleeping and all over again. Boring? No way...
First day of skiing I fell and bumped my left thumb...ouch. I rolled it into a bandage and skied anyway. I have had a proper "doctor" bandage on it for a week or so when back in Brno.
Part of the ski resort was being prepared for Hahnekamm races - the most prestrige races of the year. The racing ski slope is incredibly steep - being on the top makes you sick! ...but "ordinary" people are not allowed to ski on it as it is covered with ice - yes, the skiers ski on ice! A swiss skier is already in a hospital kept asleep as he didn't make it at the last jump. Poor guy.
Apart from these tragic moments, the place itself is very pleasing and hopefully - next year, same time, same place, same people.
