It is now 137 days until my first ski holiday for 2009...........I really must start packing

I dont yet own ski's I rent, so mine are in the hire shop in Finland. But we both keep our boards on brackets in our own office/study.
They look good on the wall.

Last year paid £15 pre-booked through Crystal flying Austrian Airways. Managed to get two snowboards and two pair of boots into same bag..............One charge only

Would like to go before 20 December for 5 to 7 days (I need to be back in UK for the 20th)

The main tour operators dont seem to advertise dates in Austria until 20th Dec. But they advertise Finland/Ruka/Levi/Lapland around the beginning of December. If that fits in with your dates.

Well the rain did hold off for a couple of hours and the last day of the show went ahead. So managed a couple of hours on beach.

Had problems understanding your message! "work comittement", what is that?
That word "work",,,how do you do it? Is it painful! How long do you have to do it! Does it interfer with skiing?

Am I too old to try this thing, "work"?

Aah work commitments, Hubby self employed and will only give himself a couple of weeks hols a year, and my company just will not agree to let me have my hols during winter months. So yes it does interfere with ski-ing, but on the plus side, it does pay for it.

I would get back to Inghams. From what I remember of Igls, I went there last year on a night trip to the bobsleigh run, the only accomodation is way down an enormous hill. It took about 25mins in a mini-bus.
In previous years if you stay around the Innsbruck area you get some sort of visitor pass that entitles you to free ski-bus transfer, and money off other tourist attractions.
May-be something will be laid on with your lift pass. You definately will need some sort of transport if you are staying where I think you will be.

Well I have been waiting the last four days to go on the beach and watch the Air Show. My first day off, its raining, thunder and lightning and its cancelled..............gutted
