Both Per and I've been to Saalbach before - but it's about 30 years ago - and as you can imagine it's changed a bit..... Nothing, absolutely nothing looked remotely recognisable....
We arrived around lunch time - and Per was off skiing straight away while I had a nice lunch at the hotel, waiting for our room to be ready.
Per came back after 3 hours and said that one side of the mountain was OK - the other side, where the sun shines onto was icy and slutchy. So he wasn't impressed - not compared to Obertaurn and Cortina. But he'd done the two things that he'd come to Saalbach to do - a special black run that had scared him those many years ago - which wasn't a problem now and he'd visited a bar on the mountain which he'd visited A LOT back then :) And as Per said - he ordered a small beer - but they don't serve small beers here - only big ones :D
In the evening we ate at the hotel, as Per found out that Saalbach hasn't got a lot of restaurants. Apparently most hotels here do full-board/pension so everybody eats where they're staying. But that was OK as our hotel just happened to have a special steak restaurant - so we weren't complaining :) Also Per has got a cold - which is very unusual for him, so we thought it was better to stay inside for the night and get Per to bed early, so that he could be ready for his last day of skiing.
At night we had dinner up the mountain, in an amazing restaurant - and we shared a T-bone steak - 1000 gr....... crazy - but the worst part of it was that we almost got through it....
