I usually go on the day pass (well, I'm not too far away). It's $37 per day now (ouch, cops don't make much $$$)
Sir, your season pass is around $500 now... 
Draxlhang anybody ? My skiing equipment is still in my car.... 
Ski Heil !

Mike, that picture sure brought back some memories - the lift has changed but the slope really hasn't..
Passes? All I remember is the pocket full of coupon books.. a real joy when you had a big class and the lift guy was trying to count 'em all.

Hartley, you are right, the slopes haven't changed in the 26 years I've been skiing the Brauneck. Garland is still my favorite.
Technology has moved on quickly though, instead of punching your lift ticket they use credit card sized RFID-chip access cards now that are touchless. Pretty neat, no need to take the gloves off at the lift.

They were about $125 back in the day...that was part of a group rate...I think individuals were shelling out about $175...

That's what I call inflation... Maybe it's the price of the RFID chipcards ?

Man, looking at all the pictures of Toelz brings back allot of memories.
Conrad, I remember the day of the closing ceremonies. Col Banks was there. It must have been a sad day for him. I saw your picture of the coin for the closing of Bad Toelz and I remembered I had one, so I had to go dig it out.
I would like to say thanks to all of you that have posted pictures, they bring back allot of good memories.
Biff...

Mid-70s we paid something like $45 for a season pass for the family. Loved the pic of the Brauneck and sure do miss it all. My first stab at the Garland included two good turns and a fall which ended when I reached the bottom of that steep SOB. I got better and learned to love it...especially when the other slopes turned to nothing but icy mogul fields as your neared the bottom of the runs.

Never got good enough to tackle the Garland, but had great times sitting at the top and watching people slide to the bottom---slick ski suits were the best.

We skied the Garland once a day with rucks...never really liked it, unless there was fresh snow...then it was fun...we tried making it the last run of the day, but realized we could hurt someone, so we made it the run before our mid-morning brotzeit...

VW Moguls
I remember one afternoon coming back down to finish the day, we were busting down the Garland. A few of us were doing alright and some others were nothing but ski and equipment bombs falling down the slope. But one guy hit one of those monster moguls pretty dang hard, in order to stop himself and look around for other falling pieces of equipment. The dang mogul broke off and started sliding down the slope. It look as big as a VW beetle.
Now that was a sight!

I guess that's why I like Garland so much. It's crazy...
Ahh, good old days...

Garland Skiing
If you got enough snow during the ski season a cornice forms above the Garland. It was quite a thrill. I would recommend it to whoever goes out there this year to try it. The cornice seems to be overlooked by the locals every year so it was always virgin for me.
Do you all remember the night skiing we would do where we waited in a hutte of our choice and drank (what else) 'til a certain time then ski down drunk (I mean loose) to the waiting busses. In 1986 the top or second top group made Kamikaze headbands from some sheet and blasted down the mountain in a tuck yelling for everyone to get out of the way.

Great old pics gentlemen. Thanks. I've got a bunch from '68 I'll have to get digitized.
I gotta tell ya, that was probably the best time of my life!

Found one!
Here's an old pic of Flint. (Don't know how to put a thumbnail here)

I went back a few years ago, and it was sad to see what they were doing to Flint. At least the Turmkeller was still in tact and operational......
