MARIO MATT’S WORDRAP<br />
In order to be fit the next day<br />
I’d recommend to …<br />
put on your dancing shoes…during<br />
après ski.<br />
Which après ski classic do you prefer:<br />
“Schifoan” or “Schatzi, schenk’ mir<br />
ein Foto”? Schifoan.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anton</strong> in three words:<br />
Dre<strong>am</strong> destination, perfect ski<br />
resort, best après ski.<br />
After a long day on the slopes<br />
I’m looking forward to…<br />
après ski.<br />
Piste or powder?<br />
Both.<br />
I like to spend my time<br />
with my f<strong>am</strong>ily doing…<br />
all sorts of different things.<br />
I remember this victory most vividly:<br />
Olympic Gold.<br />
“Après Ski at Krazy<br />
Kanguruh is so much<br />
fun! ”<br />
“The feeling on skis<br />
and on horseback<br />
can definitely be<br />
compared.<br />
I keep discovering<br />
new facets of the<br />
region. ”<br />

L.L. You just mentioned it: in 2009 you<br />
bec<strong>am</strong>e the owner of the historic Après Ski<br />
Bar Krazy Kanguruh in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Anton</strong>. How did<br />
you end up in this industry?<br />
M.M. It was always important to me to<br />
build up a second mainstay next to my active<br />
skiing career – it might as well have been a<br />
B&B or a restaurant. The Krazy Kanguruh<br />
simply happened and I immediately liked<br />
the bar. Since I took over the bar quite a few<br />
things have changed. There now is a great<br />
sun terrace, and the atmosphere simply is<br />
unique. Our dishes are always good and<br />
freshly made. As an athlete the quality of the<br />
food is very important to me. We are quite<br />
international, our guests come from all over<br />
the world and the crowd is quite diverse.<br />
That’s why après ski at Krazy Kanguruh is so<br />
much fun!<br />
L.L. Aside from skiing you are passionate<br />
about horses. What does your time with<br />
them mean to you? Can you compare the<br />
feeling on skis to that on horseback?<br />
M.M. The time with the horses is very relaxing. Apart from<br />
that we have been quite successful with our horses all over<br />
Europe, which his rewarding. The feeling on skis and on horseback<br />
is definitely comparable: you need to be patient and<br />
critically reflect your own actions in order to get better.<br />
L.L. Your crowned your career with two World Ch<strong>am</strong>pionship<br />
titles and 14 World Cup wins. Do you miss the competitions<br />
and the thrill sometimes?<br />
M.M. There are situations where I miss the ski circus sometimes,<br />
but not that often, really. Especially when I watch a<br />
race I sometimes become nostalgic. But then I think about how<br />
much work this performance requires. And then I realise<br />
how lucky I <strong>am</strong> to be where I <strong>am</strong> right now.
