Bandit, we are driving from Zurich. Thanks for the info on mountain restaurants, its quite good to hear. I guess it will be what it will be, and there is not a whole heap we can do while there.

I'm looking forward to it so much now, its my first time in europe and only second ski-week in total.

You'll have a blast - and my apologies if you thought i was inferring anything else. Loved my ski time in Switzerland a few years ago

You can give a report on whether Bananas is rebuilt and good to go!

Oh and if "Chalet" bar tucked off the Rond Pont is still there and any good this season

When you going to be there?

We're chalet-ing with Inghams not too far from you (judging by the photo) from 19th Jan

I have no first hand knowledge (other than the celeb magazines the missus reads) I'm afraid but I think that "cheap supermarket" and "Klosters" may be a tautology!

A quick check shows that the lift pass is 25% more then VDI or the 3V for far less terrain so I'd think cheap wont be an option

That doesn't mean that you won't be able to find value (the two are often confused after all) nad that you wont have a great time - my worst day in the mountains was still so much better than my best day in the office as they say!

Good luck and enjoy!

I've skiied Kitz and loved it - great town, lovely slopes, excellent ski school

However my cautionary tale would be that Kitz itself is low at 900m so though ski back to town is possible (and therefore ski in/out depending on your accomodation - needs to be at foot of Hannenkahm or the Horn (expensive on one, solitary on other)) its very often not due to poor snow low down.

The route down from the Horn in particular is a mountain road so once it gets thin on the covering you can have some "sticky" bits....

Slopes above are great and relativley snow sure - leave it late and make an informed decison maybe?
