I will do that, although for my purposes, I would need them in my hands within 8/9 days. Otherwise, I will look in Austrian sales.

And I like this one of the run down Roskopf, taken from the AntonGrafhutte.

Good spot. I don't need any more bags, but I am in the market for a pair of skis. Amazon generally too costly, although there was an odd good one, not right for me. Not seeing the right thing on Ebay, either. I did bid for one pair, but had forgotten to sign in!

Sorry Em, my photo doesn't capture the social mores, but then it was taken from the top of the Hohe Salve, some 10 miles away.

Sorry folks, I 've done my third. I am planning my fourth and fifth. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And then plan to do a few days in Scotland. :D :D :D

Most large linked ski areas are a relatively recent arrangement. The schiwelt, which is a wonderful, if confusing ski region, was, until the late 80's, eight disparate village ski areas. Most had only a couple of small lifts.
Hence, those of us who pre-date this era, are quite comfortable with skiing in large or small areas. After all, all that skiers need to ski, is some snow.
Having carried skis up the Lake District's Cross Fell, and spent days happily skiing down it's gullys, and walking up, it would not occur to me that I need to have huge areas to enjoy my sport.
I love skiing ~ and I like to ski all day, and do as much as I can. I find, for a number of reasons, that I can do a lot more skiing in the resort that I return to year after year, than in any other area ~ and I have skied a lot of areas!

Yeah & don't want to be behind him at airport check in. :wink:

I don't know, I would love to see the look on the Easyjet faces, having paid just £18.50 transfer cost!

Trencher, nice idea for the flag!
I dropped this on to my FB site, and a friend responded "I have just the sport for him" ~ my friend is the British skiing speed record holder, and now the fastest skier in Canada.
Yes, I could just see these going down the speed gun!
