Snow kick with Qualiclick
For a change - the guys from Qualiclick thought - let's do a small event away from Zurich.
For a change - the guys from Qualiclick thought - let's do a little event away from Zurich.by Beat Fritsch That's why the weekend before last, under the guidance of Qualiclick boss Christoph Morach, sales manager Bernie Kron and key account manager Roger Baur, customers and friends of the Internet advertising provider met at 8 a.m. at the valley station of the Crap Sogn Gion mountain railroad in Laax. Let's go for some fun snowboarding!
The Weisse Arena - as the ski area above the mountain villages of Flims, Laax and Falera is known - was first a foggy and wet arena that day and then a damp and cheerful one. But one thing at a time. Because of this - or perhaps precisely because of it - nobody let it spoil their mood. Some spent a leisurely Saturday in the hotel indoor pool, while the hardy ones headed uphill with a snowboard instructor in tow. And these brave ones were rewarded with a few, but ultimately sparse, rays of sunshine. On the other hand, snob Bettina Schmid almost got lost on the evening descent due to the sudden fog. But only after an elegant fall out of the narrow channel, a few meters further down into the middle of the most beautiful pine forest. But don't worry: the gentlemen were all there quickly and helpfully to lend a hand.
After their work was done, the boarders also treated themselves to the beautiful pool and sauna area at the luxury Signina Hotel with a clear conscience, or they went straight to bed. The evening aperitif was once again full of well-rested and relaxed people in a relaxed mood, but all with a huge appetite. There was (still) no complaining when Roger Baur announced that there was still a short walk to the selected fondue restaurant.
However, this pleasant walk turned out to be a veritable scramble. When it dawned on most of them that they had to climb up a rather steep deep snow slope, their enthusiasm slowly began to wane - they even threatened to cancel their first orders, panting and sweating. Only Giusy the shepherd dog (who was accompanied by MPG's Gerry Stadler) was able to see nothing but positives in the walk. While the hungry pack struggled up the hill, Giusy ran up and down the slope a good ten times in the same time. Well, you should be a four-legged friend in situations like this!
But once the finish line had been reached and everyone had warmed up again, the good mood returned immediately. No thoughts were wasted on the way home. This turned out to be uncomplicated anyway, because they always come down. After all, the nice landlady at Tegia Larnags gave us almost her entire stock of bin bags for the trip down. Some of us were able to toboggan down the slope sitting on them, while those who were already drunk (names are known to the editors) were put into the pavement sacks and rolled down the slope for the sake of convenience. By the way: at the bottom, everyone was twice as fast as the bitch!
As everyone was wide awake or at least halfway sober again after this sporting activity, we went to the neighboring disco for the obligatory nightcap. And some people are said to have left it very late. Rumor had it that late risers and early risers had been at loggerheads. Nevertheless, the whole gang was reunited for breakfast. Some of them were wearing sunglasses - not because it was so bright, but to conceal any dark circles under their eyes.

traditionally follows the call of the mountains in March and heads to the snow-covered Alps to go snowboarding. It's very practical that the advertising party organizers stick to the shortlist author's vacation schedule and therefore also hold their events on and around the ski slopes at this time of year.
Anyone else in the communications industry on the mountain can be found at various events in the scene. Do you already have something to report? Pick up the phone (01 296 97 98) or get in touch (info@wer bewoche.ch). Event tips and further shortlist images are available online at www.werbewoche.ch
