Found this today and thought it would be a great way to stir-up Pugski a bit while we all (or at least most of us) wait for snow.

I have been watching some old video from Kitzbhuel in the 70's and 80's and the finish bump looks way bigger now than it was then. The guys in 1982 barely got any air at all but from the 90's on there is huge air off that bump.

The general idea would be to fly into Munich, spend a few days in Germany, then travel to Austria to ski for 3 full days, then travel to the Czech republic for a...
