Of course you can always pick the snow off with a lollypop stick they way we used to clear dog muck of our shoes as kids.

urgh.

And then chase people with the laden stick

Didn't say it wasn't, just pointed out all that dragging kids on buses or walks to the slopes is no fun in ski gear and carrying all the either stuff that goes with it.

Who has regular feet!
Not many people will say that, everyone believes they are different or have their own peculiar trait.
I think i read once that shampoo for 'normal' hair sells the least as most people, especially women believe that theirs is far from normal.
Funny that.

No problems with the cold in mine.

With little kids in tow i would avoid austria until they are a bit older. Most resorts are in valleys away from the Ski area and require busses to get there. Doing it with your own kit is a pain, with all yur kids clobber its even worse.
I would look at the french resorts that have ski in ski out and accommodation close to lifts and ski schools.

From my experience i would say La Plagne, Alpe D'Huez (les bergers area) and Avoiriaz would fit the bill.
I have just got back from Flaine and that would be idea too and it also has a short transfer.

I was in Skipton where we had that frozen rain. It was exactly that, looked like it was slashing down but as soon as it landed it froze. I walked out to the work car park and slipped on my arse on the stuff :oops:

Very fine snow and a bit of sun. Beautiful.

What i was seeing was not snow. The sky was cloudless.
It was the water molecules in the air itself freezing

Had you been drinking Snapzzzy ??
