Obergurgl is perfect for beginners. Me and my boys learnt there. Also, it's linked to hochgurgl which is cruisy blues heaven, we were skiing it on day two. I'd highly recommend it.

good luck

The group want to go back to tignes so we'll probably do that but if I can get a week in before hand I want to go somewhere that'll be kind to me post-op (unlike dave's friend in la grave!). I was thinking of ste foy but I'm not so sure now, maybe flaine or saas fee, but we'll probably end up in val thorens (though I wanted to save that for when I was strong enough to ski the cime de caron).

You maybe don't recall the ash trays in elevators (oops lifts) and department stores, smoking allowed in the rear of the bus (which meant all except the first two rows of seats), the novelty of non smoking railway carriages, machines where kids could win a packet of five fags at amusement arcades, and of course, everyone behind the bar in the pub had one burning in an ashtray. Oh and funniest of all, you needed a gas mask to go into the teachers lounge at school.


and on aeroplanes and the london underground! those were the days when I used to smoke. so glad I don't now, what a pain in the back side.

I've been reading up about this resort today and was thinking it sounds like the perfect place to get the skis back on next season after my acl operation next week.

I was a confident blue, moving onto reds and improving every day before my fall. is it the right place for confidence building?

thanks
