Everywhere in Austria teaches in English.

Your criteria is a bit broad, maybe a couple of thousand places available.

For example, if money were no object and for example I won the lottery, I would spend at least every other week during the winter out on snow somewhere if I could.


Are you sure Tony? That's 4 flights a month for say 3 months, for someone who is not that keen on flying. :shock:

Would be cheaper to drive to Maryhofen, sorry, Freudian slip there, get a small apartment for you and the Frau. Do a spot of evening bar work to pay for food, and buy a season pass, cost about the same as two one week passes.

Now, that's a plan, you don't need a lottery win.

Benefits:
Low average cost per week.
After 3 weeks there is usually a noticable difference in your balance.
Halway through the season, you will be skiing fantastically well
You meet shedloads of people.
At the end of the season, wander back to blighty with the mother of all suntans.

Go for it.
Question for the ladies.

A week in the mountains even with partying makes a huge difference I have noticed.


I think it takes a wee bit more than a week, tino! A year might make a difference, so we unlikely to achieve much by skiing alone.

I did discuss pulse levels with Reinhold Messner. Due to the outstanding nature of his achievements, he works closely with physiological institutions. He said that his low count was not genetic, and entirely due to training.

He also said that there are training-induced counts in modern athletes of 28!

I managed the low 50's, but only after running 80 miles a week average, for many months.

On the other hand, I did a steepish walking pitch, earlier this summer, and checked out at 164. That is far too high.

Dave Lambert worked as an instructor, and played 2/3 nights in the Vicki.

That stopped around the time the Vicki was operated by Thomsons.
