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.

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 :) |

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 :-) |
