Dave,
I'm 21 so anywhere with music and draft beer is good :D

Cheers for the advise Dave Mac. I def try that red 19 run under the gondola, and the rest as the week unfolds.

I'll the guy whizzing down on the blades :lol: and probably falling somewhere along the way.

Canny wait till I go (5 wks on Sat! Not that Im counting :lol: ). Keeping the fingers crossed, I hope the weather the good and there is a good cover of powder snow :)

In the evening, go to the Bichlwirt.......

Take it Bichlwirt is a good bar to try? I read somewhere there are a couple of good bars at the down of the gondola somewhere but will def give them all a try :)

Cheers mate

Hi all,
Im heading for AUSTRIA in March and cant wait :D :D Im staying in Niederau at the Hotel Hannes. Any1 stayed there before? any first hand reviews?
Was wondering where the best place would be to ski for my brother and I, which have skied for years now and can get down the slopes no probs.
We have/are getting (throught travel agent) a lift pass for the Wildschönau area.

I recently bought a pair of snowblades over the xmas period and cant wait to get them onto some powder snow. :D instead of the usal ice we have in Scotland here lol.

Thanks Swal

Hello,
I ski every weekend in Scotland if the snow is good enough and worth at 5am start! I always leave very early so I get to the slopes for half 8 (latest). As the car park can fill up very quicky and I'm not really a big fan of walking the length of the car park to get back to my car for a spot of lunch.
I would say I prefer Glenshee the most out the Scottish resorts as It's only about an hr drive from Perth and motorways all the way from Glasgow or Edinburgh. And it is the biggest resort. Glas Maol is quality on a good day.

If you are going to try skiing in Scotland make sure you check the reports the night before.

As they can give you a fair idea of the conditions for the next day and what lifts r expected to open.

Staying that I am booked up for a week in Austria in March and cant wait :)
