sorry about the quality

been to Obertuern twice, both times the week before Xmas and had a good time there,There is about 170 km of mainly red runs and can keep most skiers amused for a week, The skiing is in a bowl so you can ski round the village both ways. In a lot of the hotels it is ski in ski out .Most of the runs are above the tree line so it can be a bit soul-less but I liked it and would go back

You don't look over weight to me Tony, unless you hide it well, you can normally tell by the face, just look at my pic :wink:

Only a little bit, but its more a case of me wanting to lose a bit. Problem is, to lose it I should stop the booze, and thats just not going to happen. I like it too much. Ideal scenario would be lose a stone and carry on eating and drinking what I like, but once your metabolism slows down, it all catches up with you somewhere.

you can eat what you like (within reason)if you exercise enough! its not your metabolism that's slowed down its you

Snowpack ...welcome to the forum...whilst I was in Flaine last month I saw lots of instructors heading their class's down the slope with their legs locked! if they can do it why can't you ...so why not ski the way you want to ski and not how fashion dictates...if you enjoy going down the slope who is to say you are doing it wrong!!

I will duck for cover now as the posse comes to get me.... )

3 stones heavier..another 1 to go!

try this hotel

I stopped there before Xmas and they have a few single rooms I can recommend it

I don't know what you lot are moaning about....No kids at home so I can afford to indulge a bit more and no responsibilities so 3 weeks skiing ...the old car I always wanted (and the time to play with it) If I feel like getting a new pair of skis ..I do,,and the fact that I don't need to impress anyone so I can ski how I want to ski...not how fashion dictates!
and you have finally realised that if you don't do it now you never will..and Tony H you can lose weight....eat less and do more excercise :D ! I did

Zermatt!!
