Elisabeth (Lisi) Brandner – her e-mail in german:

Person

I was fortunate enough to grow up in an area where I could indulge in my greatest passion almost every day. I still occasionally visit and love the many small ski lifts and ski areas in the Chiemgau Alps, where everything from gentle slopes to hardcore freeride descents for insiders is offered. For me, these will always be my favorite mountains.

Ski

I discovered my passion for skiing when I was two and a half years old. Since then, I’ve been fascinated by the white splendor and the thrill of gliding down it. In my first year of school, I went on my first ski tours with my father – for the first eight years with simple alpine equipment, with Dad leading the way. To this day, every ascent and descent in unexplored mountain regions is a very special experience that quickly helped me recognize the important things in life.

My passion for skiing naturally led me to join the ski club – as a kindergarten child. At 18, I competed in my first World Cup race. After that, I competed for Germany in the World Cup circuit for five years in the speed disciplines of Super-G and Downhill. Today, I primarily ski for pleasure again, occasionally participating in race training and for state-certified ski instructor exams.

Med

At 23, I said goodbye to the Ski World Cup to begin my medical studies in Munich. I wouldn’t want to miss any of my days as a ski racer, but today I’m very happy with my decision because my work as a doctor brings me great satisfaction.

Pläne

If I had three wishes, I would like to grow old in good health and ski a lot, open my own general practice and teach my children (I don’t have any yet) how to ski.

Wichtig & gern

Fresh air is my most important fuel. Being out and about with my family and friends and occasionally retreating to the familiar tranquility of the mountains keeps me balanced and gives me strength for new adventures.

Yours, Lisi

For 16 days a year, Elisabeth H. is working as a WaiterDoc at the Oktoberfest in Munich. She says she is addicted to that job… 14 hours a day carrying beer and serving the guests, who are often out of control. Her strategy is permanence, team power among the waiters, and strong nerves.
In Switzerland, she does paragliding and skiing; she has even been a member of the German national skiing team! In 2005, she took second prize in the Ski-Teacher World Championship in Finland.
