Hi Emma,
I'm glad you got back okay, and I hope you had a great time :D

I packed my helmet with socks and things so it didn't really waste too much space in my suitcase. As long as your suitcase has enough depth I wouldn't have thought it was too much of a problem. I haven't, however, tried packing one with a visor. I'm not sure I could ski with a visor down :shock:

Ally

Thanks Ally :D

I know it's simple really. Dunno why I just ended up standing there with the lid in my hand looking at my partly packed case then the lid again etc etc. No comprendez no comprendez... round lid... square case... I even thought of wearing it all the way to solve the problem :?

I bet your calculator can't wait for you to bugger off so it can have a break too :lol:

Because they're uniform in size all the way they go baggy in places that you don't want bagginess. And the seams are often really bulky. By the end of the day you could end up feeling like you have frozen peas in your boots.

I'm not even sure this post makes sense. :|

Try them.

I was wondering about it because I read this:

Plus, there's a free bus on Thursdays and Fridays from the Sonnschein and the Harfenwirt taking you over to Hopfgarten, so it's easy to ski the Ski Welt and stay in Niederau.

and I was wondering if it was true. Do you think, maybe next time you're in the Sonnschein or the Harfenwirt you could ask them please? It's not so much for me, because I might never go there, but for other J2ski readers.

Thanks,

Ally

I have my doubts on that free bus. Just got back from there. Noticed a display in the Harfenwirt foyer showing the Skiwelt area piste map, and also mention of a free bus. I checked and the free bus is the one to Oberau/Auffach. No free bus to the other areas. Another group of guests paid 16 or 18 euros to get to Hopfgarten (each way) plus 40 euros for a day lift pass.

My source was reliable, but there is a chance that the question was lost a little in translation.
