Haha yeah- straight back down to the button lifts for me!!

I get terrible phone paranoia up there- one wrong move (with gloves & cold hands etc) and it's bye bye iPhone. (also, one wrong move and it could be bye bye life!!) There's been some terrible accidents on that slope, I get jelly legs just thinking about some of them...

Ugh!! Anyway, how's Chamonix? Are you there yet?!

Flight at 6:50am tomorrow morning! Bags packed and ready to go.

It's only a short visit though, I'll be back on Wednesday morning, but conditions look excellent.

fannymagee · 28-03-2014 02:12PM

Ah that's plenty of time though- you'll have a ball in the current conditions!! Well worth the short trip :-)

It's a looooong way down ;-)

I could mark x's all over that photo where I've binned it over the years. In fact about 2 or 3 km to the right I got 3 fractures in my wrist and arm. Good times.

Oooh no, really?! Ouch! I've only fallen on that slope once (I'm tempting fate now..!) but I don't plan to repeat it..! It was a very icy morning a few years ago, and thank f@&k the OH was with me! He jammed his skis under my shoulder to stop me & luckily there was no damage done. Gave me the willies though!! Even with him braking for me it still took quite a few seconds to stop- so I avoid it like the plague now when it's icy. Prob silly really, but now it's in my head I just don't want to risk it!! Some poor German woman had a simple fall on it last week & came rattling down full speed from the top as far as the lift completely out cold, head rattling around in her helmet. She was blessed she had it on...

Official photos from Paddy's Day, spot yourself if you were there!! :-)

fannymagee · 31-03-2014 08:30AM

Sooo, it happened. The lifts are closed. Bye bye Winter 2013/2014, you were amazing!!

Time now to Spring into Spring :-)

fannymagee · 04-04-2014 09:14AM

Just looking back on photos from the last few weeks of the season- here's one I forgot to post. A ski instructor from Munich taking his group of Bambinis 'off-piste', haha!! God only knows what was going through his head ;-)

Mantis Toboggan · 04-04-2014 09:16AM

Fanny do you work out there or just on an everlasting holiday?

fannymagee · 04-04-2014 09:25AM

It's a bit of an everlasting holiday Buddy Holly! My boyfriend lives there, so I have kind of two lives. One life making money in Dublin, and the other life spending it on the mountain ;-)

fannymagee · 04-04-2014 09:47AM

Exactly! Although if I also won the Lotto it'd help ;-)

fannymagee · 10-04-2014 09:56AM

A few more photos from end of season :-)

Kitzbuhel at the weekend:

Soll this morning:

mahoney_j · 16-04-2014 03:06PM

Fannymagee banned ?????

RIP Fannymagee · 22-04-2014 01:51PM

Yup Mahoney_J, I'm afraid it looks like Fannymagee is no more!!

I logged on today to post some photos of the (AMAZING!) conditions in Soll and discovered I'd been banned. Initially I had no idea why, but it turns out that it's because a friend of mine is doing a Masters Thesis on tourist interpretations of piste maps, and I made the fatal mistake of posting a link to the survey.

Apparently that's not allowed (although it doesn't say anything about it in the Winter Sports Charter, so I had no idea..) But anyway, apparently it's a permanent ban! Hahahahaaa, ah well. Such is life on boards.

Sooo, a big ta-ra to all on the Soll thread. It's been.... unpredictable. Lol!!

(On the upside the OH will be very pleased- I'll no longer be stopping every two mins to take photos for you guys, haha!!)

Have a lovely summer kids, and stay safe :-)

Poor Fanny! That's a ridiculous reason for banning you, though hardly the end of the world, the snow must go on... Haha see what I did there?...

Anyhoo good to see you're not actually dead as your new username made me think for a brief moment.

I have to admit I did smile a little.

Not a fan of boards at all but there's no other active Irish snow community that I can find.

A good thread fanny. Enjoy the summer.

HAHA!! A poor joke, but it amooosed me. And you are correct. The snow most certainly IS going on! And on, and on- there's piles of it here but I can't post pics because a) I'm banned and b) I need to have 50 posts from this address before I can post pics. Which leads me to my next point

Oh my God I didn't think this username through- it's a bit alarming alright!! I didn't mean for anyone to think the REAL Fannymagee had popped her clogs! Esp after those avalanche pics a few weeks ago haha ;-)

And everyone else thanks for that, you are too kind. And D-Don you never even made it over to visit!! Maybe next season. Or you could hit Kitzbuhel now- it's fab at the moment!!

Aanyhoo, ya never know. It's Easter. Maybe fannymagee will be rise again ;-)

am i bovvered · 25-04-2014 10:48PM

Thanks for all your posts... hopefully see you again next season, it's a better forum with your input.

fannymagee · 02-05-2014 05:55PM

Right.

I'm back. And I've changed.

I've done my time in prison, learned how to shoot up, brew hooch and got my knuckles tattooed. I'm a changed poster- no more smiley faces and exclamation marks. No more entertaining people who ignore what I post on this thread & send me PM's requesting the EXACT SAME information three times over. No more wasting phone credit on giving directions to complete strangers who ignore my advice and miss the last lift from Brixen. No more LOL's. No more OMG's.

This is the Soll thread. Sh*t just got real.

Hi fannymagee.

hmm, isnt that just the end of a black heading back to soll from itter direction?

fannymagee · 09-05-2014 12:00PM

Kind of! It's Rigi, as you come down from the top of the Hohe Salve and yes you can continue on to Hopfgarten & Itter from there, or back to Soll. The gondel from Hopfgarten leaves ou there, and there's a little Church just beyond :-)
