Well after all the praise that has been heaped upon Mayrhofen on this site, I can wholeheartedly agree with everything that has been said. Got back from there yesterday and had a brilliant week.
Have to agree with Tony H about Mo's, the best food and tidy waitresses. The 3 best things I found on the holiday were: 1. Hooning down red #7 (Horberg side) 2. Getting lost in the mist in Egglam and walking through farmyards back to the lifts 3. The amount of fresh powder and tree runs We stayed in the Straus Hotel and overlooked the main lift which was pretty handy. With the Pound:Euro rate being so rubbish, everything is pretty expensive really, but you can always get fresh bread and fillings and make sandwiches for up on the hill. Its between Mayrhofen and Hinterglem for the familly holiday next year I reckon.

I think this refers to the acknowledged thinking that an elite athlete does approx 10,000 hours of training before they are world class. This can also be used in other professions outside sport and in anything really. You need to do something for 10,000 hours (or I supose 10,000 times in the case of skiing) to excel in a skill. It is by no means a garuntee of success but it seems to help. The research was intially done by Malcolm Gladstone but if you google it, there is quite a bit on there.

Trudging through the pow to get to another piste - Hinterglemm
It took about 45 minutes of walking and was such an effort but was worth it to get to the other side of the hill.  |

In March 07 we stayed in Nendaz for a week. Its just next to Verbier so has all the runs, snow and accessability of Verbier at a fraction of the price. The area around it had quite a lot of smaller towns with good skiing.
