One might be well advised to take the aspirin? -)

It relates to the ILS landing system required to land in poor viz in Innsbruck. Last season, while other T/Os could land at Innsbruck, Thomsons could not, and were diverted to Verona. (Remember you commented at the time that a diversion to Munich would be bnearer.)

Not aware that T/Os are using Jet2. It's a good alternative for DIY-ers.
I would be far more concerned to be flying with Thomsons, Crystal and Inghams into Innsbruck.

Interesting. Three causal factors are mentioned, altitude, (lower oxygen contant), temperature, (constricted blood vessels), and lack of fitness.

"It was found that over half of the heart attacks occurred in the first two days and within two hours of hitting the slopes"

Pretty conclusive. The authors recommend a minimum of 2 hours a week of sport. That, I would suggest is not the same as 2 hours a week in the gym!

My view wouldbe that 2 hours a week is pretty near useless to maintain any kind of standard fitness for skiing.

It's getting cheaper by the posting.

A bit skizzo here. The OH and I are part of the Scottish Proms Choir, backing Leslie Garret, This will be incorporated into the last night at the Proms from the Royal Albert Hall. Then we will be attending "Sunshine on Leith", followed in November by a London trip to see The Lion King and Concert Spectacular, also at the R/A Hall.
At the same time we have been planning a Tirol season, based around the Kitzbuhel Allstar lift pass.Schiwelt/Hinterglemm/Kitzbuhel/Schneewinkei/Niederau, about three and a half weeks.
