Thanks cem and steverandomno!

I have sent the details of my foot problems to cem so am waiting with baited breath for his expert opinion. I also checked out Daleboot in Kitz and they are quoting around 500 pounds for a set of boots. I think I will have to buy a pair of boots and have the footbed made to suit.

Depending on cem's assessment, can anyone recommend a store in or near Kitzbuhel or Niederau where I can get good service and a selection of boots to try?

thx

OK Guys

I have just extended my trip to Austria in February to include a week at the Auhof in Niederau :-). You all seem to know the place so well I am asking for some tips as to where to eat, pick up groceries etc?

I will have OH and 2 children in tow aged 6 and 10 and will need to hire skis etc for that week. Is there any place to do this online prior? Might put the kids into ski school for a couple of days too - I think I read somewhere here that the Red Ski School is the one to use?

thanks!!

Hi All

I hae just found out today that I have been made redundant, too bad the position is filled !!!!

Since I am now returning to being a mum at home and we have a trip booked to Kitzbuhel from 14th to 21st Feb I would love to get over to Austria a week early (yep, even going to pull the kids out of school for this one!!!)now that I do not have to worry about getting back to work

Does anyone know of accommodation available in Niederau from 7th to 14th (checking out morning of 14th) Feb? Asking a bit much I know but here's hoping

thx

Hi All

On the subject of ski boots, I also need to buy some this year and have very difficult feet (toes go numb and burn after a short while in boots) After reading some forums I have been in touch with Herbert Auer in Steinach am Brenner which is only an hour or so from Kitzbuhel where I will be staying.

He is quoting me around 400 to 600 euro to have ski boots made and fitted. He has said that based on my lengthy email that 'off the shelf' modified boots will not suffice.

Does anyone know of him or other professional bootfiters close to Kitzbuhel?

thx

When I was in Kitzbuhel earlier this year, there seemed to be plenty of buses, that operated on a regular basis.

Here is that mention of Niederau again!!

I told my husband last night that we are definately going there for next years ski trip!! By the sounds of it, Kitzbuhel will be sooooo busy this year

What a wonderful, wonderful story. I too was moved to tears and your story brings home a lot to people.

Hi guys

I checked out skiguru and there was only one person listed for Kitzbuhel. He sent me an email today telling me he was fully booked for all of February. Any other ideas? I tried the ski school instructors there last year but was not too impressed with the one I had. Any personal recommendations for an instructor in Kitz?

thx

Did you guys ever sort out if you were going to have a J2Ski get together :?:

After all this chatter about Niederau, I will be coming next year!! - this year it is back to Kitzbuhel
