For those resort workers who survived the winter uninjured, 'Zipferl Bob' - the end of season event, a perfect blend of drink and danger - provided a final opportunity to be helicoptered off the mountain. We played Russian Roulette with our coccyxs on every curve, corner and hummock of this bum boarding Cresta Run, and then skillfully skirted the far more dangerous sport of mixing schnapps and beer, to go home, all intact, for a nice cup of tea. Although, sometimes, we like to think we can handle the pace, one need's to know when to opt out!
