Matt, do not worry!
There's over 9 feet of snow where you're going, it won't all be gone in a week.

One year we went to Puy St Vincent at 1500 m - 1st day of skiing was 11 th April, it wasn't a remarkable snow year and we skied to the apartment door until we left on the 20th.

Ok, by the end we had to carry our skis about 10 feet to the door amd the melt was definitely on, but don't fret. You'll ruin your pre holiday excitement.

Have a great time.

Amen to that.

It isn't much fun - with all the kit, but the hardship is on the adults, not the kids. They just trail along while their parents struggle with everything.

But, that aside Austria is great for kids and if you use a kindergarten ( we did in Schladming) then you can probably leave their boots and skis there overnight meaning they get the bus in snow boots.

Outdoor stores - those retail outlet places are full of them.
You should get some in the sales soon.
Or google salopettes - you'll find tons of sites
Or try TK Maxx

More wibble - my daughter's birthday. She'll be 16. Her 4th official birthday.

Last week ton the radio the weather chap was talking about supercooled water - not snow.

The presenter said he'd never heard of before in however many years of listening to the forecasts.Wether chap said it's very rare it happens, has to be exactly right amount of moisture i the air and to be very cold.
Reckon it could have been that.

Or you had bee drinking..... )

Glad you enjoyed it, knew you would.

I love the GM - would you not consider staying in Samoens? it's beautiful.

Know what you mean about the Tourmaline, always chaos.

Amusing!
