Me and ski oppo Gordon are off there for a week at the end of Jan., and I would like some info on Ellmau. Staying a little out of town up a piste (Hotel Schonblick) so we'll be wobbling home up hill of an evening, I should guess....
Hi Woolfie58. Thanks for the post - I am off to Ellmau with a mate that week.

BB - did you get out much today? Was blowing a gale in many places - LDA looked badly affected as far as I could tell.

Is there ANY advantage to hiring anything but economy skis?
Started by Kowal.Ski in Ski Hardware, 31 Replies, discussing La Plagne and Les Deux Alpes
The economy skis that I have had have been OK, but a bit battered. Most had reasonable edges that would have been useful, had I known how to use them. I'm with Markinkent on this one - I now tend to go for the intermediate skis - about the same level as my skiing, and less battered than some of the economy skis I've had. My understanding is that the economy skis are a few years old; the more you pay, the newer the ski, but also some of the advanced skis are a bit stiffer and need more skiing (if that makes sense)
