I reckon it can be anywhere, but feel its only fair is there are landmarks. Otherwise I could go home and take a photo inside me freezer and post it :)

Well said. Bit of common is all that is required, as with most things in life.

Willingen Upland
If it's busy season with kids, I do the following.

Up first thing,
Skip breakfast
First to lifts (7.45 they will usually let you up with staff if you get friendly)
Board whilst its quiet
Take breakfast at 10.30 whilst the slope fills out.
Board over lunch whilst everywhere is packed and the hill empty
Break for beer and cakes about 3pm
Board till last lift at highest point, longest run
Have a beer at top if possible
Have a long run home 45 mins after the last lift / no-one there perfect!!!
Few apres ski beers with the crowds
Nap
Late (and most importantly) large dinner when kids are all out of restaurant
Few more quiet beers
Bed


......and always carry at least 3 decent sized chocolate bars, I prefer Snickers cos thye release of energy from the nuts is slower than the chocolate :)
Next season

I will hopefully do;

2 long weekends early on the Tux October/November (slumming it)
North America or Canada, in late December for a week (expensive treat)
2 long weekends on the Feldberg locally in early December and January (next to nothing)
A week somewhere new in Austria in February (relatively cheap)
Mayrhofen for a week in April (bonus permitting)

30 days is the plan, but recent circumtances have left my finances in a sorry state.

I may even head for the Tux next weekend if I can persuade my friend :-)
