The "Krone" hosted the World Ski Championship kick-off party on Tuesday, with celebrities such as Wings for Life boss Anita Gerhardter, entrepreneur Daniel Bauchinger and Gut Aiderbichl boss Dieter Ehrengruber flocking to the Home of Snow.

Nici Schmidhofer arrived already exhausted: "I was the first to ski down the ladies' slope this morning. That was exhausting," says the 35-year-old.

Also sporty, but only off the slopes, is "Krone" editor Christoph Dichand: this year he is hopping from ski event to ski event. He can already tick off Kitzbühel, Schladming and Saalbach.

Celebrity lawyer Huberta Gheneff also has close ties to the ski circus: "As a young woman, I worked alongside Edi Finger as a sports reporter," she said about her former career.

Former ski star Lizz Görgl is aiming for a new career: She wants to take off with the anthem "Wir fahren heut zur Ski WM".
