Ischgl is reknowned for its Apres Ski, so I said, no matter what, I could drink and why I chose it :)

We stayed from Saturday night until Friday morning at the Hotel Sonne. Now mind you, this is something we did for our 15th anniversary that is coming up later in the year. The total for the 6 nights was around 4k with us staying in a big suite. But it included breakfast, dinner, and afternoon snack. It also included our ski passes for the week, ski storage, etc..

We got plowed with snow every day minus that Sunday. It averaged 16-24 inches snow a day. But you would never know as the Austrians cleared it like no business.

One of the funnest things we did was an 8 kilometer tobaggan ride from the top to the bottom. Every corner on the way down was people stopped, taking shots and what not. Oh to be so young again.

And this is a pic outside of the Trofana Alm which is great for Apres. Every bar/pub in Ischgl was great with there same terrible 30 German schlager songs that you hate at first, but love after a day. It is a real shared culture, and fun to watch

Then Friday morning we got to Kitzbuhel for the Hahnenkamm. It has always been an event I wanted to attend and it is up there with many other events I have been fortunate to attend.

We attended all three races from the Super G to the superbowl for them the Downhill and lastly the Slalom to witness Hirscher and Kristoffersen battle it out.

The post race downtown was packed but the partying was great with the Austrians, Norwegians (who were by far and away the craziest), Germans, etc.

You could get General Admission tickets for each race for around 25-30 USD. Or you could splurge for a VIP like we did for the one day to guarantee great views and get free beer and food.

The last pic was what we took outside our hotel just to show the amount of snow.

If you have specific questions about food, beer, etc, let me know and I will answer
