I was annoyed in Niederau to see experienced skiers and boarders using the nursery slope as a race track. Admittedly there weren't loads of them, but it's not funny as a nervous beginner to have people charging past inches away, especially as there were real slopes that better suited their abilities.

Also, in the boot room beside O'Malleys (where Thaler customers are allowed to store their gear) some 'kind' person saw fit to remove my daughter's boots from the heated rack and chuck them in a corner so they could put their own boots on the heated rack. I would never interfere with another skier's gear. Spaces on the heated rack were limited but it was first come first served, and we were there first! They probably assumed because the boots were small-ish they belonged to a young person. I doubt they would have risked messing with a large pair that might belong to a 6ft muscle-man!

On a positive note, I have met many helpful people (and I do tend to fall a lot LOL!). I dropped one of my poles at the top of one of the button lifts and the man in the wee cabin rushed out and retrieved it for me.

I've never met anyone over here who has heard of Tayto. I asked about them in Tesco once and they just looked blank. :-(

No Dids - I'll let you in on the secret if you don't tell anyone )
[looks over shoulder to make sure no one listening]
Tayto is a brand of crisps made in Northern Ireland. The cheese and onion flavour is especially yummy, though not to everyone's taste as they are quite strong!
Anyway, being born and bred across the water, I've been brought up to appreciate their distinctive flavour. When I moved to London I was devastated to discover they aren't sold over here. However, I discovered that you can go onto the Tayto website and order them by the boxload. So I 'import' them now and again when I'm feeling homesick! I was thinking of putting some on ebay so the rest of the world can appreciate them lol :P

Wooohooo! Now I've got 4 :mrgreen:
Don't need to hide my head in shame any more!

Is it possible someone just doesn't understand how to use the star rating thingy and is just allocating stars arbitrarily? I myself have never bothered to give anyone any stars for any posting, not because I don't appreciate their posts but because I don't see the point. If I like what someone says, I say so in the open forum. Do we need stars? As you can see, I don't have any myself, but try not to feel inferior because of that. :roll:

My OH took up skiing at 57. Last year we met a woman who had decided to learn when she turned 70. She was having private lessons with an instructor and he seemed to be incredibly patient and kind. I think she got on fine. You're never too old to try something new (in fact it's good for the brain to take on new challenges).

Caron-a my OH is at the emirates tonight as well.
Me and the little 'un ate sooo many pancakes tonight :cry:
