I guess it is predominantly the first 2 points then?

I thought piste bashers could go anywhere on piste. Learn something new everyday. Do they ever actually tether them?

I'll second that :thumbup:

Only a trifle? :thumbup:

The buildings are brown so they "blend in" with the side of the mountain - you can imagine what it looks like when the mountains aren't brown :thumbdown:

However, the skiing there is great! You dont notice the ugly town when skiing.

IN my opinion, scenery on the slopes is just as good as you will get anywhere else. They have trees unlike resorts in Val Thorens as an example :roll:

Question I have had for a while then, what are the factors that determine a black - as I am guessing teh runs stay pretty much the same every season

- steepness (If that is a word), wont change
- Width, may change depending on where the poles are put?
- pisted or not, may change day by day

Is this why sometimes i go on a black and think, "I have skied reds harder than this" and vice versa?

I think it is something to do with us Northern Monkeys. As soon as we hit the age of 30 the cold starts getting to us, the whippets demand more walking, and the cobbles are difficult to walk on. However, Hovis will always be nice and soft on our teeth :D

So, back in Austria.

Tony was glad he didnt go to the Moose :thumbup:

I always preferred the Krazy Kanagru, the girls dishing out the Jagermister were a lot better looking in there ;)

hurry up I go home in 14 minutes ;)

Gone now, look forward to reading it when I get in. I will put my slippers on and get my pipe out :D

Love the wine bottle holder - you could use it for mineral water Ally ;)

Wonder if Santa would bring me one of the tables?

Anyone got it yet?

Totally on teh button there :thumbup:

I go away, take a load of pictures. Look at them when I come back then the only other time I see them is when they flash up on the screen on my laptop :shock:
