Austria 2010

So now this year's trip has been and gone, where do we go next?

Austria is our choice for next year. OH and I are both of a similar standard. We ski blues confidently and would have progressed to reds this year if it hadn't been for my fall and consequent rib injury.
Have skied Grindelwald for the last two years and like the fact that you can do plenty on non ski days of which I had a few forced on me this year.

Need a resort with intermediate skiing for us and something for the in laws to progress on to. They don't ski much but I think they need some nice easy green runs rather than being stuck on a nursery slope all week.

Usually stay in a hotel doing half board; in laws like a pool aswell. Apres ski isn't a huge must, couple of beers and that's about it.

We prefer to fly from Exeter as we're in deepest Cornwall so arrival airport is Salzburg or Innsbruck.

Over to you guys & girls now and I've got a sweep on how many times N is suggested!

Bad Gastein? In all fairness I was only there once with the school ages ago but there is plenty to keep you occupied. Plenty long windy blues/reds.. might be worth looking more in to that..?

Sorry I can't give you more specifics. It is a spa type town as well so plenty going on off the slopes!

Another one to look in to could be Ski Welt? Easily accessible from at least one of the airports you mentioned. Again can't give you much info just throwing it out there!

sorry to hear about your injury. you ok now?
and I can tell you that you have just described obergurgl/hochgurgl to a tee my friend :D

As ross said Bad Gastein would be a good idea. We went a few years back stayed in the Hotel Salzburger Hof was very nice had it's own sauna/ pool area, but there is also the big place in town, that i can't remember the name of!

There's also a casino in town if that tickles your fancy

Am much better now. Landed heavily which caused bad bruising to my ribs. Consequently, as I was trying to do my turns I was compensating to avoid pain which put me off balance and caused more falls. Wasn't helped that the initial fall took my instructor out who landed on top of me!! :shock: Pretty girl though. :oops: Have had a bagful of pain killers for 10 days and am almost back to normal.

On the subject of destinations. Obergurgl & Hochgurgl were on my list of places to research a bit more

Sorry about your bad luck, hope on the mend now. I have said it before but check out Seefeld/Austria.

How about Kaprun jim, They have some nice cruisey runs.
Get well soon.
