harikiri skiing, zillertal, AT

what a wonderful skiing in the zillertal valley in tirol, austria, AT. 🏂🌋🌞

well, i was alone, so i could wonderfully concentrate on my feelings + thoughts, especially abt my investment strategy for the next few weeks / months due to the soaring gold + silver + copper + miningstocks prices and the unbelievable volatility which most likely could mark some major market peak, cant it?

the most famous ski run in this mountopolis area is the steepest track in austria, harakiri with a 78% declension. i've tried twice, but the icy artificial snow piste vs. my 10 years old unserviced skis with completely blunt edges (stumpfe kanten) was not any nice experience. later they've even closed the harakiri run completely due to few injuries out there ... any lessons learned? i've brought my skis to a service the very next day 😀⛄🍀

indeed, there was not enough snow in this mountopolis ski area, which is 1,600-2,400m high, so we've had just the artificial icy snow all over the place ...

if mountopolis, then start your tour at the horchbergbahn cable car from stockach/schwendau. why? you dont need to stray all over mayrhofen looking for a parking place and on top is the parking at the horchbergbahn base station for free. will you remenber that advice? promised?
