Was in the filzmoos area just last week but stayed near Wagrain!

I had my most fun ever here it was great! The skiing isn't huge and i wouldn't have said it was great for beginners but there is skiing available for them. Didn't ski Filzmoos unfortuantly but your right in that a bus trip would be required to reach radstadt, zauchensee and flachau etc...

thanks for that reply tony certainly made me laugh!

First time i've been able to speak as i only got back from rugby tour late last night!

Had the best skiing week i've ever had!

The conditions weren't too bad warm other then the monday when it snowed, snowed and snowed some more!

Really learnt how to off piste ski in the trees with powder up to the waist! Had a amazing skiing group where we messed about alot but still learnt lots from our Dutch instructor in his final season so he enjoyed himself alot aswell!

Has really cemented the fact that i want to do at least a couple of seasons in a resort instructoring so all in all a fantastic trip!

cheers

I know ETS lessons!
but ESF!
I want to sleep tonight so if you do not mind tell me more about esf!

Respectfully,

ESF is the french ski school which seems to get quite a lot of bad publicity i have only ever had a private 2 hour lesson so wouldn't know but judging from peoples opinions on here they're rubbish!

Thanks for the replies guys!

I was also thinking the buying in resort option cos not only will service be better but i have noticed prices seem less!

Like both you guys have said price won't be the deciding factor but comfort and performance will be!

The thing as i said before is getting them home is there a fee that normally needs to be paid when bringing them home, like do they need to be booked on the place etc??
