Hi topmarks, my wife got some elastic from the local sewing shop threaded it through the arms of the jacket and tied the gloves on via the clips.
Our kids didn't have extra liners in their gloves and managed no problems.
Not sure about the drink question, one of our girls drinks a lot more than the other but she managed till dinner time ok.
I am sure there will be others along with more advice.
Hope you enjoy it, our kids are hooked (and so are we)

Has anyone been? Any info would be great as we have booked for Feb and only have the brochure info.
Cheers

Thanks pavelski, off to Austria in the morning, snow forecast for Mon, Tues & Wed. So I am going to give it a rip!
Cheers

We went to Niederau 1st week in March 06 and had a good week, the conditions on the top of the mountain were very good (fresh snow during the week) but down on the lower slopes this turned to rain and made them a bit slushy.
You could maybe hang on till nearer the time and check out the conditions.

I am an intermediate who started going into powder last time out (with varying degrees of success). Could someone please tell me the correct way to initiate turns in powder.
Thanks

Thanks Trencher I'll take your advice and concentrate on technique on the easier slopes.
Cheers hopscotch.

Could someone please expand on a something from an earlier thread
Pavelski said "never brake at a turn,before a turn or curve yes. In skiing you must use the hill to set your speed"
As an intermediate determined to progress I often find it hard to control my speed and end up using skidding turns to slow myself and regain more control.
Any ideas?
Thanks
