I'm still really tempted with Kitz

Thanks guy's for all the positive replies, I do not book anything till september,so kitz is now on the short list :thumbup:

I love watching the downhill from Kitz every year and this has often made me think about going there. However, from reading various reviews of the resort, I would have some concerns about the extent of the skiing relative to the size of the village and also the reliability of the snow. From what I gather, you can end up with very busy slopes and pretty poor snow conditions :x. But I guess thats the chance you take with every trip.

Another option you might consider is staying somewhere lift Westendorf or Soll. The skiwelt area is huge with lots of variety and is now connected to Kitz so it would be possible to ski over there on one or two days (not sure how long it takes to get across though).

Exactly why I have never considered it as a viable option. I hate going anywhere that gets over busy, and having been to St Anton and Verbier neither of them were problematic at the time I went, although the last run off of the day in both resorts was, shall we say "hairy"?

Kitz is quite low down, although the N gang will tell you altitude doesnt matter. Try explaining that to the bases of my Blizzards after I shredded them going over a series of stones on a black run there just 2 days after Xmas :shock:

Have you been to Solden or Ischgl yet, as knowing what you like from your ski areas, I think these might have some appeal? Or even, dare I suggest it, Mayrhofen?
