Very positive attitude !!
:lol:

Happy to book last minute for low season holidays but February is generally busier so more risky.
I haven't seen a European holidays list for this year yet - anyone got one????
But during core spring holiday period I doubt you will have much choice last minute.
First and last week in February more likely.
End of January - last minute very likely to work.
But it is all a gamble!!

Please can you update my entry to - going somewhere in the Dolomites :)

I can't recommend any specific resorts for you, hardly ever skied in Austria.
But I go with a non-skiing OH.
What I look for is somewhere high so that I can get to good skiing quickly.
So - no bus journeys, multiple lifts up to the good stuff etc.
This way it is easy for me to get back and meet up. And then clear off for another spell on the white stuff.
I also look for a variety of pedestrian ways up the hill - to a restaurant for lunch etc.
It may be that your girlfriend may be skiing on the nursery slopes and enjoy getting up high for the view and experience even though coming back down in the bubble/cablecar.
The only place I have been in Austria that may work is Saalbach/Hinterglem.

They look just like the ones I saw in Lidl for a tenner.......
:mrgreen:

My local Lidl has majored on ski gear!
Some decent looking stuff and prices.
Particularly what looked like an amazing line in children's stuff.
They also had quite good looking goggles, glasses and helmets.
