Powder in Austria - time to miss some deadlines

I remember (just) from my surfing days that when swells arrived our schedules went out of the window. Everything apart from surfing and partying were relegated to inconveniences - ah the days of youthful innocence and transgressions. I feel like a kid again - I loaded up the car with the powder boards tonight and got together the avalanche gear in anticipation of a powder day tomorrow in the Zillertal Arena, closely followed by heli-skiing in the Arlberg on Thursday. Plenty of snow has fallen over the last couple of days and with spring set to return in the next few days it is time for some powder action. I will be aiming for some serious banks of powder in Konigsleiten that I have seen tracked in the past and in the Arlberg I will be heli-skiing with a powder ski world champion. Hopefully we can find a darts board after he gives me a lesson in Arlberg off-piste :)

    Hey Bard, are you their manager? If so maybe we can do a barter deal. I know a guy over here who swapped his goat for an engagement ring to give to a school exchange romance from the Netherlands. The heli skiing should be good, they had a lot of snow in the Arlberg and we are being guided by a world champion powder skier - hopefully he is patient!
