Jim Jack's Living History, Switzerland: February 14, 2000 Big Birthday Celebration jimjack@gravityfed.com  It has been a big weekend! We Went to the WALLHALLA Bar on Friday night to watch the
oldest ski film ever made. It was filmed in Davos in 1924. It was a French silent film and there was a
live piano to go with the plot.
The Wallhalla could only hold about 60 of us and beers were two for one.
Saturday The Bolgenschanze was booked up solid for a live concert. That also meant
since the rooms were booked weeks in advance that we had to make a small move to another hotel for the
one night. That didn't matter. The people here at the Bolgenschanze made sure that we were comfortable.
We realized later that it didn't matter where we slept because Dan Withey was
celebrating his 29th birthday and the bar was making shots every time we turned around. If you are
ever here on your birthday, be sure to let the bartenders know. It gives them a reason to have a
shot, too.
The whole staff at the hotel have become our friends and we feel at home because of
them. Oh yeah, Withey did get the drunkest. Our nailing was awful so we drank lots.
Today we had another day of sunshine and powder conditions. They are calling for
snow for the next 4 days and right now we are already skiing boot top creamy good times in the trees and
off piste.
We are taking many photos and feeling good. We are all glad to hear the Wasatch is
getting pounded! Be careful out there and enjoy!
We will get back to you in a couple days. Yahoooooo!!!! Everyone and Happy Valentines
Day.
Jim, Dan and Adam |
