Gear of the week | Season pass

Without works, with is better.....

For those of us who would rather make their first turns in the snow yesterday than today, the ski pass is almost a must.

Yesterday I was looking forward to buying my season ticket like a child, but unfortunately the counter with the nice saleswoman was already closed. Ok - one more sleep. So this morning, full of anticipation, a quarter of an hour too early at the ticket office, then the time had come: the ski pass printing machine spit out my season pass and found the rightful owner (me) on the other side of the window. Now there was no stopping me, off to the slopes. There were a few complications at the first turnstile, but no matter, it was the success that counted, I was in.

Whether it's a season ticket or a day ticket, it gives you quick and easy access to a huge playground. Today I picked up the season ticket, a few years ago it was a day ticket. In both cases, the joy was and is simply huge and the urge to finally get started is almost unstoppable.

Whether this quick and easy access to the winter mountain world is really so good, or whether you want to do without this "landscape- and environment-destroying circus" altogether and just swing up the mountain under your own steam, everyone has to decide for themselves. In any case, I'm always happy when I can work on my technique at the beginning of the season (and occasionally in between) and really step on the gas. But I'm just as happy when I leave the slopes again and only use the lifts as an aid for quick access to the terrain. I really like my season pass for this purpose too! On the other hand, I also like to get around under my own steam and do without the season ticket again... but that will take a few more days, now it's time to shred the slopes!

Whatever your preferences, make sure you reach your ski destination on foot, by tricycle (or Kettler Kettcar) or by public transport. If by car, then please carpool. You can use the outward journey to discuss the day (if you haven't already done so when planning the tour the day before). After a successful day, the drive home should be used for a beer and a cheerful serenade for the "dry" rider.

I wish you lots of accident-free powder days, cheerful serenades for your riders and a good start to the season!
