One of his clients is fellow Austrian Herman Maier, gold medalist in the recent Winter Games. Franz was the fastest man in the world on skis, setting records in speed skiing, the sport in which daredevils in sleek suits streak through a short speed trap. Although he didn't win in the demonstration event at the 1992 Olympics in France, he scored his best time ever there 137 miles per hour. He still seeks challenge and participates in various masters and legends races, when he's not ushering celebrities around some mountain. My favorite run is the Schweinstrog, which means pig's barrel.
Superb slopes drop a long way into the valley in two steep steps.
A real challenge, even to expert skiers. This is a memorable experience on spring snow or good safe powder. St. Anton for Steve, too Phil Mahre, gold medalist in slalom at Sarajevo, picked a trail at Telluride in Colorado. Steve, silver in the same event, had trouble at first in picking a place and a run. Boy that's a tough one.
