Well, that's it for this season.

Oh Bahn-hof!
Despite very limited snow and temps in excess of 20deg, had 2 really great weeks in Austria. All down to great piste management . Had planned to go to Italy for our second week but speaking to people on the plane home kinda glad we didn't as they said it was just too much for the pisteurs to cope with. Time to give my worn out knees a well earned break.

Adding a bit more info. There are two train situations from Munich airport, both leaving about ten past alternate hours. The EC has only one change, at Munich Ost, and the charge is €35. After the change there are only two stops before Wörgl Hauptbahnhof. Time is 1hr 43min. The alternate train requires 2/3 changes, takes half an hour longer, and cost €30.

For my 2/3 week January trips, I hire a car. This is because a buy a season pass for a larger area, Kitzbuhel Allstar, or Tirol. That allows me to ski for a day in resorts that I would not choose to take a weeks holiday. (Eg, in January, among others, I skied all the runs in St Johann, in the one day.) The secret with car hire is to book well ahead. It is one purchase that rarely comes down in cost. By law, they now must include the cost of winter tyres in the hire price. I take out annual car hire excess insurance every year.

Dave Mac, thanks. May make a winter trip to my Munich office a bit more attractive.

How's the snow in Tel Aviv ? ;)
