Interestingly, we walked about ten miles yesterday - not as ski training (that is separate)- and we were wondering how that length of walk (2½ hours)compared to say, a 30 min jog at 6 mph. Does anyone know of a formula whereby you can correlate the benefit from walking as compared to jogging?

family skiing in Austria

The only places that I have skied in recent years are Seefeld and Rauris in Austria, and I'd recommend both as suitable places. Seefeld perhaps more than Rauris, just on the basis of its size. Snow conditions at Christmas time, I cannot comment on, as I don't know enough about the height factor to compare.

This is definitley an improvement on a few days ago too! Although you can see the town in the distance is still clean. Seefeld, by the way.

To get back to the original question, I have a set of thermals from M & S and find them really good.
