An acquaintance tells he has skied early May in Tignes regularly over the years with no problems in terms either of snow or the resort's facilities being open. Is this right, as I have the chance of few days there the first week of May ? Thanks for any info.

I have just looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I seemed to have turned green for some unaccountable reason !

Ally: have you seen that de-caffeinated, alcohol-free Jagertee ? No, me neither.

I think the Mayrhofen nightlife is a little on the youthful side for me, but Zell am Ziller a little geriatric. I'm at that awkward age :)

No bills were left unpaid ! I don't think I'd choose to pick an argument with either of those fellows, nice guys though they are !

If this is indeed Peter's brother, I was also taught to ski by him and owe him a great deal.

I was billip, now I seem to have to be billip1 for some weird info-technology reason, but no matter. Just to thank those on here who gave me so many good pointers re Zell am Ziller, where I had a great week last week. As I was in ski school for most of the week, I couldn't take advantage of all of the side-trips which people suggested, but frankly, I found more than enough to keep me happy in the Ziller Arena area. However, a trip to Kaltenbach was a real treat, with lots of skiing to be had.

I even managed my first black run (not all upright, I but managed it anyway !)

I would certainly go to the area again, although staying in Zell am Ziller itself does involve a (short) bus ride to the bottom of the gondola each morning, and the apres-ski in Zell itself is a bit limited, so maybe accommodation nearer the action would be something to consider next time. But all in all, a great area to ski in.
