5 - 11 November 2012

As we head into our sixth winter, just 5 more than we had planned on spending here, annual events are becoming very familiar. This particular week in November is the week of the huge, unmissable, second hand winter sports equipment sale in Saalfelden. The night before, at the special late night shopping and discount evening at the local sports shop, Justine and Simon, with complimentary wine and nibbles in hand, enthused about it, and persuaded those as yet uninitiated to sell their old equipment and pick up a bargain, until they realised they were being quite ungracious to their hosts.
