Have you ever fallen forwards on skis?

So, from Tony's, Dave's, Andy's and Ian's responses I should be ok if I avoid hidden ditches off-piste, buried bushes, fence-wire and blind jumps. Hmm, think I should be ok then )?

... but I suppose everybody else did too ...

Interesting; so it's nigh impossible to be leaning tooooo far forward ?

OK, now you're trying to guess my age !

Perhaps just as well to switch weeks anyway, as I understand the week of the 6th is the German big holiday week ("Faschingsferien", so maybe that's why everywhere is full up.

Well, I know you're not overly positive about Niederau Ian, but throw in Auffach too and there's a fair bit there. But I've been doing the same as you (looking for March deals) and have plumped for Zell am Ziller mid-month.

Having been to Niederau for a 3rd return visit earlier in the year I've now plucked up the courage to branch out and am going to Zell am Ziller in mid-March. It appears to be a bigger resort in terms of pistes and lifts etc, so presumably a bit easier to get lost in than N ! Any tips welcome (although I have also booked ski school for the week - mainly as the all-in price seemed a pretty economical way of buying equipment hire and lift pass as much as anything else, but also for the guiding element.

I'd appreciate any thoughts from those who know Z am Z.

Just to add my two-pennorth, and refer to the train again as was previously mentioned. Munich to Worgl then the bus from right outside Worgl station to Niederau is very straightforward.
