Hi Nipper at a grand a skull, :P I would be wanting a lot more than 3 star, unless you were trying Japan perhaps?!

Hi
I think we sometimes overestimate what we get or need for our money. Many years ago I skiied several times wearing a very old pair of 2nd hand rear entry boots and straight skis which were about 30-40 cm longer than those currently in vogue. Guess what? I loved it and enjoyed every moment. Subsequently I bought my own boots and skis and used those for a few years and guess what? I loved it and enjoyed every moment. Recently I decided my skis were getting a bit old and knackered (and so was I)and fed up carting a long ski bag everywhere when I went on holiday so I decided to keep my really comfortable boots which I have now had for many years and hire skis in the resort, the first year I went for the VIP skis and guess what? I loved it. Last year I decided that with the lower exchange rate that I would try my old boots and the bog standard hire skis, guess what? I loved it. Thinking about it what I got for the VIP ski price as opposed to bog standard price was a set of skis that were going to be great for someone who skied on the edge all the time, I don't, I just cruise down pistes enjoying the scenery. If you have comfy feet and snow under them and you are just loving it, who cares what colour of medal you have? If you are not loving it, work out why and change it. If you are loving it you can change it and see if it gets better.... |

not that obvious, but if you flew to Vancouver and went to whistler you would have driven past it.
:P |

Hi nipper
everyone on here will tell you to try niederau, but I haven't been there so I wont! Have you looked at passo tonale in italy? it sounds just what you are looking for and will probably be cheaper. :wink: |

Some excellent guesses.
Clue time? the mountain in the background is Mt Baker. |

Hi Caron-a.
Bennyboy is obviously correct but you are not, but you are close. Harry |
