Hi

I know that you can get prescription Adidas ski-glasses, as a family member has some. The prescription bit pops out if you don't want to use it all the time and you are left with a damn fine pair of sunnies.

Expect to pay around £220.00 I think.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dave Mac.

It seems there is a good amount of skiing between Niederau, Auffach and Kirchberg/Kitz.

Definitely worth considering for the GF and I.

Take your time Ollie and remember you're getting them fitted for your feet, not the skis, and colour isn't important.

Happy shopping.

Not in this life-time.

He's a seasonnaire, know-it-all, pain in the ass who latches on to people.

I had the misfortune of having him invite himself over to my table once for a "chat." I actually had to be quite off-hand to get rid of him, he really was that bad.

Oh yeah. He smells.

Very, very interesting Jan and thanks so much for taking the time.

Can you pm me details of your place please??

We put a lot of trust in the skill of Instructors/Guides. We take a lot on trust, I have never asked to see an Instructor's Insurance if they were taking me off piste.

That's a fair question, you should ask any leader/instructor what their qualification is and check it with the governing body if you're concerned. Members of various bodies will tend to challenge anyone they are aware of that's operating out of their remit but it's a touchy thing and what insiders know about various operations and the more common scams isn't shared widely with Joe Public.

I know of someone who does a bit of "guiding." He is without a single qualification, nor does he have the correct type of cover. yet he blithely invites other skiers on his "tours."

I wonder where he stands in the event of a mishap??

Thanks :D
