The week before the contest….<\/p>\n

Heavy snow in Austria near the border to Italy swapped over to Rein in Tauafers. The wind was so dangerous that a closure of the street because of the high risk of avalanches. That was on Monday, 14th. We expect two lorries full of sheds on Wednesday. We are really thinking in alternatives and bulding emergency plans. After a call with the civil protection we got the notice that the street will be openen on Tuesday at 5pm. Perfect, back to the original plan.<\/p>\n

The setup…<\/p>\n

… our friends Wolburga Toifl from Kematen build up 32 shed and the party tent. Together with the big fork lift from Wieser<\/a> the sheds was positioned. This year we rent a mobile generator from Niederst\u00e4tter<\/a> for the power! Awesome performance. Many thanks to Speikboden AG<\/a> for the transport of it to the contest area! And the guys from Mountain Igloo S\u00fcdtirol<\/a> build up the beautiful bar to taste the Southtirolean spirits from Pircher.<\/a><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n
