I went to Austria without them.

The words "Spare Room" come to mind on reading your reply. :mrgreen:

Standing at the top of the cliff face (OK it was only a red) and not thinking I was about to die.

Can't find any of this, even on the Austrian ebay site.

Unfortunately, the rest of the family are looking to sunnier, warmer climes for April.

Following the bashers down the hill at 9 am is certainly different to taking to the slopes at 1 pm that's for sure.

Or maybe that's the beer surge kicking in!

How long does it last?

How can I make next year come a bit quicker?

Fantastic time was had by all, Adele - even the Mrs was out on the balcony sunning herself when not up the mountain for the views.

She even came away with those immortal words "I wonder if this skiing lark is for me?"

Better keep an eye on the bank account or she'll be booking up next year's.

My wee lass is quite confident snow-ploughing but on steeper slopes she loses it when she starts speeding up.

Any tips to overcoming this fear?

She is only 11 years old and this year was only her second time out.
