:lol:

On a serious note, theres some amazing back country out there.....

I liked the approach adopted by a rather large Swede who objected to an adolescent pushing though the queue for the cable car in Kreishberg - he leant across & plucked the youth up with one hand & dropped him back over the stair rails - down a 4 foot drop into a bank of snow & said - "Now you go back & practice queueing until you learn some manners"

Andy, how did you find Kreishberg. I have been there a few times as a mate has a chalet there, don't often come across people who have heard of it let alone skied there. IMO i think its a great place, especially with Turracher Hohe fairly close.

It's a nice small resort - quite busy last week as it was half term. Snow was pretty good.

The ski pass no longer covers nearby resorts - like Turrachahohe which is a shame. So you have to spend E39 for a day there rather than a E6 suppliment.

It has it's foibles - like two T bars up from the top of the gondola to the top of the mountain. Once you are up there the area opens up - drop down one side (on one of 2 runs) & a 6 man chair lift takes you back to the top of the t bars.

Probably not a place for beginners because of the need to go up the T bars but good for intermediates as none of the pistes have any hidden horrors.

I agree on the T Bars, think their problem is the lack of available revenue to put in another chair. The 6 man chair is a new addition, 2 years old I think, this cost over 10 mil euros, which considering it only opens 1 run of any note is a bit of a joke.
