And Finally...

To be fair, I expect those slopes to get white again some next winter. So maybe that ski lift is just a longer term investment than that they expected at first (but not a downright loss). Although it is clear this winter they are losing tons of money

 

Hello,

not if they pick up the idea with the cows . Well, I think in the midterm there will be not much snow anymore in the highlands. Even in the Alps you have to go up quite high to find a place for skiing.

Yeah, this winter it's like that. But there will be many more (I heard at least one a year )

 

Hello,

rumours, nothing more than rumours .

Would suit Emma and Martha No more walking up the slopes

 

Hello,

we could hotglue them skis under their hoofs. That wouldn't help much walking the slopes, but would be quite a funny sight .

Gyro

 

Wouldn't there need to be snow for that to make it really funny? I think them in the ski lift would be at least as great of a sight!

 

Hello,

they produce skies with casters, don't they.

Gyro

 

Didn't think of that but aren't those ment to be used on asphalt or something and not a stoney and uneven mountain slope with grass and what not

 

Hello,

good point. On the other hand, Emma has four legs, that should compensate any instabilities .

Gyro

 

Not sure if she'd agree when she's pushed down the green mountain on those things :-D

 

Hello,

mooooooooooooohhhhhhhh

Hello,

attention, low flying cows ahead .

Regards
Gyro

 

It appears no one dares to learn skiing when cows are allowed on the slopes.

 

Hello,

if you hit a cow, methinks the cow will win. Every time.

Gyro

 

Still... that sign is pure discrimination.

 

Hello,

yeah, bulls like skiing, too,

Dammit, I wish my Dutch would be up to par. I'm listening to Dutch pirat radio. The pirat signed off and I got the new frequency, but not the time.

Regards
Gyro

 

Pirat radio, like dutch schlager? Man, what are you doing to yourself! On the other hand, that IS what they like to party on in the dutch apres ski bars (so seems fitting in this thread).

 

Hello,

ohnooooeeeees . Well, yes a lot of Dutch schlager and German schlager as well. You need beer to endure that or switch to the friendly number station in the neighbourhood for some time . But they play country as well.

EDIT: Playing now: Die Rose vom Woerthersee, the Dutch version. Time for some number stations .
