Don't forget the big Shatzberg area above Auffach, all covered by the Niederau ski pass. Mostly wide reds but with a couple of blacks, some moguls, fun in the gullies, a boarder park with jumps, grinds and half pipe, and plenty of powder opportunities too.
Don't know about those blades in the powder tho'..... |

Yes, I'm in Leeds and the flood warnings are out.
Arriving Saturday (and staying at the Vicky too - apologies to everybody in advance), scouring the net for weather info and I'm already carving turns in my sleep. Can't wait. Stubbsy |

Of course it's the Bichlwirt.
Duur! |

Ah yes, a luxury indeed. I think the Zulus liked to keep it all for themselves.
See you in the Bichlhof this weekend! |

I definitely agree with the "both goggles AND glasses" advice.
A few weeks ago I was in the Tchibo franchise of a local Savacentre (Leeds White Rose) and they were selling wraparound sports glasses with interchangeable lenses for half price - less than a fiver! If I remember rightly they were grey, mirrored and yellow. I wish I'd got a couple of pairs. There's no sign of them on Tchibo's website. Anyone know if they've got any left? Cheers, Stubbsy |

Hi all,
Arriving 19th January for week. This is the first time we will have had a chance to actually ski in Niederau although I have visited the village a couple of times before. The wife and I are experienced skiers (Kitzbuhel, Westendorf, Soll etc., France and Switzerland), but we are not particularly good. I never really converted properly onto carving skis, while the boss has lost some of her confidence in recent years and we are a bit too long in the tooth for group lessons. So, any recommendations for a few hours personal instruction? Also, I think the Hahnenkamm Men's Downhill is on the 20th. Anyone heading over to Kitzbuhel for the race? Finally, what's the best bet for apres for a couple of ageing indie rockers with far too many Tyrolean evenings under our belt than can possibly be healthy. Looking forward to the 19th, Cheers, Stubbsy |
