we were up in reasonable time and Tuesday being no chalet staff day there was continental style breakfast out usual stuff cheese and meats and in what seemed like no time at all we were up the nasserien bubble cars and ski’ing down towards zuirs , the run of fame takes in all the local resorts in the alberg region, and due to the fantastic weather and sunny conditions everyone must have had the same ideas as us the quest for the lifts were too long , there was no way possible for us to manage the run of fame today , theres some sections of piste up here which they label as ski routes, this means they are marked by red sideways squares and not piste bashed and the best way into town was down this run/route it had some difficult sections but it was fine for our group 
then we were off its what they call out here a bluebird day cloudless skies loads of sunny slopes in perfect conditions , the boys were flying cammy has definitely got his mojo back . he was skiing superb and our pace was fast we spent longer in Queues for lifts than on the slopes .
we had a quick beer in the town of zuirs but this meant we had a long walk to the ski area ( well there was possibly a lift we missed ! ) once out on the slopes of zuirs the slopes are excellent and the conditions were just perfect ,it was a pleasant feeling for the first time in my life i felt the wind tugging at my hair at 50mph ! shame it was beard hair not the napper lol
there was a lovely little traditional alpine chalet with loads of snow on the roof and around the sun balcony where we decided to stop for lunch ! the menu wasn’t extensive it was basically soup two types or sausage and chips ! so i got us 3 bowls of soup and 3 beers (half pints ) 40 euros which is really just £40 nice enough but not value for money i guess we were paying for the ambience , 
once we had skied out that area of zuirs we tried to find a way out to lech but with queus and one of the easiest connected routes being shut , we decided to head back to st anton, no run of fame today ( well parts of it but no completion ) once back into the slopes of st antons we set off for the same route as yesterday , there is a black run number 52 that funnels down toward Krazy kangaroo and mooserwirt and the centre of town toward the end of the day ,it gets absolutely mobbed and its not the smoothest of slopes a bit of a battle to be honest , and then a crazy long slog along a shelf like blue to get back to the apres ski bars , but its so worth it we went to the mooserwirt what a laugh what an amazing place absolutely huge there must be about a 1000 people squeezed in there partying , the atmosphere is fantastic and theres this DJ called DJ gerhard he is a local legend has been doing the music for 20 years and only missed around 10 nights ! 
we were as happy as you can be a perfect day on the slopes a couple of jagermeisters and a few beers to cheesy rock music ! its madness but totally fun madness we skied back into town from the apes ski bar more than merry in the dark , then a taxi ride back to the chalet to get changed no chalet staff tonight so we got changed and headed out for dinner , there was a nice traditional austrian restaurant we spotted and we had diner in there ( schnitzel )
we then went to bar 37 but cammy was tired he had enough , he went back to the chalet me and ali had a few more in 37 and were gonna go to piccadilly but opted for tom dooleys to end an excellent day in the alps ,one of our best days in the alps if not the best
