Was just reading Tony's Arlberg guide.

Was curious about your general read of the ambiance in Lech. Although there were plenty of people in furs who were clearly not there to ski, I was surprised by how unsnooty it felt given the general wealth. Maybe I would have felt differently if we were going out for meals every night and mingling with the 1% instead of dining at our hotel with the other middle-class guests.

Did you visit the on-mountain Kästle museum (I think it's at the top of Rüfikopf)?

There were a couple classic runs at Lech that you missed -- I'll cover them later. 8)
 
The combination of the Piste-to-Powder logistics and my having a cold that week meant I saw very little of the town of Lech. I never even had a lunch there (I had 2 in Zurs). The only time I had the energy to look around a bit was after Friday skiing. I chose to check out the Strolz store because I was curious about their custom made boots.

I was unaware of that. There was a ski museum in St. Anton, open 3-10PM. I planned to go there Friday afternoon, only to find it closed for a private event.

Richard had 3 ski days on his own in Lech, but he didn't get out any more than I did. Neither one of us had much desire to leave the Sandhof once we got back there after skiing.
