My 7 year old sings it as ' Alice, Alice, who the beep is Alice' He thinks it is hilarious - am I a bad parent :oops:

I must admit, I do like apres ski music - sets the tone for the night :D

Sounds like your lad is just like my children, they love the après after skiing especially when the Dutch get going! Dare say our children are going to grow up with a weird taste in music. :lol:

I didn't know you'd already broken a speed/distance resort record. How stupid of me :oops:

The furthest I've travelled during one day was the day we did the whole of the 3 valleys in one day, and the instructor took us up Mont Vallon (I think it's called) in Meribel just for fun as it wasn't en route, and I think the red run down is the longest in the 3 valleys. We started at the usual lesson time in Val Thorens, skied through Meribel and on to Courchevel and stopped for the obligatory 2 hour French instructor's lunch break, and got back early with enough time to do another run just for fun.

It was certainly the fastest I've ever skied. And I was totally knackered by the time we stopped for lunch in a restaurant somewhere above Courchevel.

That's the beauty of skiline, it records the data so you can keep the memory of a great day like the one you spent in Courcheval. I would say we would all be pleasantly surprised just how far we ski in a normal day.

Heading there on Dec 12th.


Heading out to Austria Skiwelt & Wildshonau on the 18th for ten days. Someone said in another thread not to panic & to have a little faith. Personally I would rather have snow! 8)

My skills level is expert, wife and kid (4 y.o.) are beginners.

WANTED: 50%-quiet/50%-party place interesting for both kid and adults. Sparking NY party, fun, etc.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


If the snow ever arrives one of the ski stations along the skiwelt in Austria might suit your needs perfectly, basically you get the best of both worlds with a series of villages interlinked to form one massive ski area. Google skiwelt & check out Scheffau or Ellmau. You will be able to tailor the après to any percentage you like. Don't know about NY après.
