Fall Break 2017: Austrian Ski Vacation!

[sith_happened]

Not Australian, autocorrect, stop that.

Starting next Saturday, October 7, students, teachers (and teachers' friends, if they beg hard enough) will be ditching the unseasonable heat of the American East Coast and heading over to beautiful Tirol, Austria and the Hintertux Glacier.

We will be staying at the Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten chalets that will handwavily have enough space for us all, lala.


So pretty.

As always, you can request a roommate, and then we will be randomly assigning 8 of you to each chalet, where you can decide for yourselves if you get a room with bunkbeds or one with a full-sized bed. There's also a group living room, a dining area, a small kitchen, a sauna, and a cozy fireplace.

As a group, everyone will get driven to the slopes for daily skiing instructions, as is traditional, so prepare for ski-lift related traumas at least two mods have ski-lift trauma. Don't judge us. There's also tobogganing, exploring picturesque Austrian ski villages, and eating nasty Austrian dumpling soup. *Cough* We mean "enjoying local cuisine." Just maybe not that soup.

So sign up here by Thursday, October 5 and pack your ski poles and pain killers! It'll be fun!

Questions?

[sith_happened]

Mmm, Austria.

Re: Questions?

[sharp_man]

Okay, wait, so this just came up - this was posted on Monday. So, is "next Saturday" the 6th, or the 14th?

Re: Questions?

[justice_undone]

I was wondering the same.

Re: Questions?

[uncertain_dume]

Yeah, it'd probably be a good idea to slap the date on this stuff. Regional language differences confuse the heck out of dates that aren't explicitly stated- I've had it out with people on more than one occasion when I say 'next Saturday' meaning 'this Saturday coming' and they take it to mean 'next week Saturday' instead.

My best guess is they mean starting the day after tomorrow, going by the dates of the break week on the calendar.

Re: Questions?

[sith_happened]

Yep, you guessed correctly! It's the 6th and the main language has also been corrected.

Re: Questions?

[uncertain_dume]

Excellent, thank you much!

Re: Questions?

[heroic_jawline]

I mean the 7th! Ugh, this is my brain on Dayquil. It's not pretty. Whatever day two days from now is.

Re: Questions?

[uncertain_dume]

One of them weekend-shaped days. ;) Feel better soon!

Re: Questions?

[sith_happened]

Fixed! It's Saturday the 7th.

Re: Questions?

[sith_happened]

It's Saturday the 7th.

Re: Questions?

[sharp_man]

Thank you!

Also yes, I kept thinking today was Friday. Sigh.

OOC

[sith_happened]

I miss Europe so much.

[rebelseekspizza]

Up front, if anyone has Austria winter vacation-related questions now or during the week, I have suffered many a wintersports vacay there. Whee. Feel free to mail me and ask stuff if you need to.

Re: OOC

[spin_kick_snap]

Okay, ngl, kiiiiiinda wanna go to on an "Australian ski vacation" now. That sounds like a very Fandom trip.

Re: OOC

[era_two_triangle]

All accounts from the roomie-o-doom say it involves driving for a day to get to a mountain, driving UP the mountain, and if it's the right time of year there will be snow at the peak.

It was a very exciting time for him. There was slush.

Re: OOC

[vrajna_kralis]

I mean, lbr, my idea for an awesome ski vacation doesn't involve leaving the lodge so I'd be up for it!

That being said, cross-country skiing being chased by winterized drop bears and kangaroos on skates. PICTURE THE MAJESTY.

Re: OOC

[greenexorcist]

That... totally sounds like a random winter event the Island would throw at them.
