Beer or ski?

Beer or ski?

I have a question for the assembled masses:

Is the number one priority when you go to BG the beer/apres or the skiing/boarding?

When i go, i go to ski, first lifts, off the slopes when the lifts stop. The beer, while always consumed with gusto is a secondary issue really.

So what is it, are you beer drinker who skis, or a skier who drinks beer?!?!?!?!

re: Beer or ski?

When I went to Bansko in January I found the best solution was to go out and get thrashed on beer and cocktails, stay up till around 2-3am, then get up for 7am to miss the queues at the gondola station. That way I was able to get a full day skiing in and that cool mountain air is certainly the best cure for a hangover!

When beer is this cheap, you've got to make the most of it! But to answer you question I'd have to say I was neither; I love them both the same and do them both as much ...

No question - a skier who likes a Booze, but really go for the skiing first and foremost.

To ski at your best it is advisable to be sober but in my experience it really does depend on ability. Me.....if I'm going to take on the mountain for the day I take it easy the night before. Wink
If however I fancy a more relaxing ski (sometime in the afternoon) I get stuck into some serious 2 handed drinking. Booze Booze Booze Booze Booze Booze
