featuring:'On the Piste'   with Anton K
                                    (piste: noun. A slope or course for skiing, pronounced “pissed”)

I just received an urgent email from Anton K which was sent through in the wee hours of the morning, obviously riding on the back of Australia’s Gold Medal win at The 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino by
 Dale Begg-Smith in the Mens Moguls.

So here’s Anton’s Skiing Bio by Merv.. 

Anton K is half Austrian, obviously his bottom half, the skiing bits, and started skiing from when he started walking, up at Mt Buller with his Austrian father who was a builder at Mt Buller. His old man, Uncle Werner actually speaks like Arnold Schwarzenegger as he comes from the same state in Austria called Steiermark, I think the city is called Graz, whatever, I don’t really care!

AK grew up eating schnitzel and sour kraut on pumpernickel bread sandwiches and Four n’ Twenty pies at school, trying to balance the Austrian ~ Australian mix up, and sometimes was seen in those funny leather braced shorts called lederhosen.. what a Nancy Boy!

Anton grew up skiing with the guys from The Mt Buller Competition Ski Squad, he wasn’t an actual official member, but his parents friends older kids were members, and they asked if he could tag along, like free babysitting. AK was accepted into the Mt Hotham Ski Instructors Course, but was soon kicked out for impersonating a fully qualified Austrian ski instructor for the purpose of picking up shaggable girls at Zirky’s Nightclub and the Arlberg..

 That’s good enough for me,
 Anton’s in!
