A New post by CHRISTOF MURR (DJ AUDIOMED) ! Thank you!
funny enough – when the big rush is closing down – mainly after easter – and some of the hotels start the closingsession – the mountains always seem reward us with some of the most spectacular skiingconditions of the entire passed season - and – the best:: we have it all to ourself!! No question so far if we deserved this – i think we did…as in fact many of us could finally take a piece of that cake …. its just nice that this time it turned out to be full of delicious raisins – if u know what i mean…
What a privelege, what luxury, if u go up the mountains and therehave an extraordinary choice:: do i want powdersnow or would i prefer springsnow – perfectly smooth!! This kind of “joyce” we had 2 weeks ago for about 3 -5 days, easibily reachable, no big climbing or touring necessary – and - believ it or not – there was no rush at all to quickly find some still untouched slopes – everything was untouched!! and stayed virgin if you dint ride it down. One could ski allover where ever one wanted- often enough u were the only one – maybe some tracks somewhere…
Thats when i thought – i have to share this with all of you out there – probably most of you are sitting in your offices, behind your desks, working your a… of tp make sure that the next wintervacation is going to happen – i also can visualize a few of you already on the decks of splendid boats , or aside swimmingpools – anyway, wherever you are -i can see you clicking time to time o the arlbergstar webadress, that great new platform which enables us al to keep in touch all thru the year , that spreads rumor, gives information and feeds us with all that news that you like to receive from that extraordenary worldclass skiresorts which so many of u love and might call somehow a second home – because thats how this place feels to many of you….we know that…..
So, view the pictures i made ofr all of you – feel the fabulous skiing that was given to us, and also, let me share a little of the fun we had the last two weeks – there were events, there were races, here were a lot of parties going on anywhere, all over the entire Arlberg region…and there still was very small, but most amused crowd that appreciated what the place had to offer these last 14 dayst we all partied hard, and skied early next day…because there is one rule in spring :: you´ve got to get out on the mountain early before the snow turnes slushy late midday.
Hoping to make you a bit jealous…in a good way… and turning you on for next season`s afterseason – give it a thought – next year it will be the inbetweenseason – as easter is around today! see how good skiing can be when spring has started and the valleys are green….if u are really a hearted skiier – i wish you can have this experoence one day yourself.
some of the highlights of these passed 2 weeks::
party highlights i had been invited to contribute with my musical skills and fine record selection::
- season end party @ ullr in zürs – dj audiomed &scheibosan
- always a winner – the long afternoons on the legendary BALMENalpe – sunset at 19h!! and skiing down in perfectly fresh groomed springsnow…into the romantic nightglow of lech!!
- special flair @ schneggarai – the cosy hut in lech – a truely pearl among the musicbars.
there were other great events like
- the happy Edelweiß TSE Week – with a great programm including a nostalgic evening….showing a movie from the 20ies and serving a dinner from that epoche…
- the oberlech springparty – held infront of the hotel burg
- WINTER FAREWELL CELEBRATION - 25.4. @ HospizAlm
the spectacular race on serving??boards – and the absolutely unique parade including a waltz of the groomingmashines – the official winterfarewall with flags pulled down while horns playing sentimentally – a real heartbreaker!!
The SPORT TOPICS::
- Albona longboard classic – 17.4. – a snowboard downhill freeride competition – massstart with no gates – from the top to the bottom!!
- Der weiße Rausch – a ultraspectacular race from the valluga down to the bottom of st.anton – 24.4. – 533 racers at the start – massstart in three categories….unbelievable!!! Best time under 9 minutes this year – some needed 8 minutes to manage just the climbing part in the first section of the race….
around 4000 spectators in the finnishing area, all having a good time. This race is becoming a true cult ….
Lech mountain trophy – a highly athletic challange of a mountain triathlon:: biking – sking – running:: lech – zürs – madlocjh – lech, afterparty in the postgarage lech .
…and i am sure there were many more social events which I do not know about…

I am jealous, in a good way. It would be so awesome to spend the Spring there. So beautiful and fun! Thanks for posting!
Guter Beitrag…geht mir auch so. Am Ende der Saison sind einfach die geilsten Bedingungen, und man hat das ganze Skigebiet fast für sich allein. Leider ist der Arlberg fast aweng zu niedrig, da wirds scho immer a rechter “Gatsch”, Obergurgl liegt da günstiger…
Schade, dass die Bilder so klein sind. Ein größeres Format wäre besser!
