Having just come back from St Martin in the 3V my husband has said that he will categorically NOT go anywhere else. Loads of on piste accommadation (cheap too if booked with tourist board or local Immobilier). Lovely village atmosphere, lots of sun during the day and access to the largest ski area in the world. Jerusalem Run (often cited as THE best run in 3V) on your doorstep...Paradise :lol:

I have apartments in Leogang , part of the large Ski Circus with Saalbach and Hinterglemm. Leogang is an ideal family resort and from 14th march ( maybe slightly different next year ) kids get a free ski pass which can be a big saving. There is evening skiing, toboggoning and a weekly show on snow, but no clubs so the resort is a true family resort. We have a sauna, hot tub and Sky TV, plus loads of board games, a childrens play room table tennis table football and pool. So actually you dont need to be lloking for anything to do. If you need any more info please get in touch

I am an intermediate / advanced skier, physically fit but overweight (weekend rugby player).

A number of seasons ago, Lockwoods in Leamington Spa diagnosed my foot pain as having a "forefoot varus" in both feet and advised an anatomic insole, a pair of custom molded Salomon boots (Crossmax 10) and Zipfit inners.

For a variety of reasons, I got the insole created by a third party unrelated to Lockwoods (by an NHS foot surgeon) and although it was clearly a good insole, I'm not sure it was very compatible with the boot. When I went skiiing, I suffered enourmous pain again.

So I am looking at going back to Lockwoods or Solutions 4 feet and getting another fitting done. I am prepared to start from scratch or reuse bits of my existing kit, e.g., new insole and inners with the old shell.

I supect that Lockwoods and S4F are equally competant, but does anybody have any recommendations on what I should do, where I should go and / or alternatives?

Many thanks Sasha

Hi Sasha

I have the saem foot problems and they are finally gone after 20 years!!! thanks to Rob Graham at Daleboot in Kitzbuhel. They also have other outlets around Europe too. You can see my writeup in the Ski boot threads

Dave, On Wednesday, I'm guessing that you will be with the Aufhofers at 4.30pm in the Shirmbar, just below the Gondola. I am likely to be 10 min later than that, so will try and contact you on Jan's mobile, see if you want to meet up in the evening.

But I hope you have good skiing, the conditions are looking very good.
