Last time i went skiing i went to St Anton where at the end of each day we stopped 3/4 way down the slopes at a bar a drank a drink they called gluvine which was a sort of warm red wine.

oh yes and yes big drinking out there on and off the slopes. You can get the lot whatever tipple floats your boat. have to agree with chris on the Brandy hot choc but nice to intersperse it with gluhwein or it gets a bit sickly.
So thats how you spell "gluhwein" and good to know the same goes on there.
You seem to know lots of answers Vicki so a bit nearer my arrival date i will bug you with lots of questions and repay you with a few drinks when i get there.
not sure of that spelling (I just made it up. shhhh don't tell anyone) just a guess.
If you wanna bug me you will have to email me direct to my email as I won't have time to check through all this lot everytime and I go tomorrow for the season.
You are more than welcome to so are the others and I will do what I can. Have ticked the box so you can get my address.
