Conic Hill??

Oli,

What bit of you is tired? You just hook the toe binding behind your shoulder, hold down the tips, and ....off you go.

I take it that you might not have joined us on one of our early trips up Helwellyn or Cross Fell, two/three hours walking up the mountain? :P

Just wondered.

Have not actually played the game :twisted:

Caron, repetitions of that pose should sort your knee out. :shock:

Any chance of you being ski-fit this season? You were doubtful.

My OH had a second Xray this week, and the man said it's all healing good, probably no ligament damage, and to get some weight on it. He even ventured a view that she may be OK to ski at New Year!!

Is 592k respectable?

I have to agree tino, there are flat transfer paths at the top, and a long schuss at the run in to the village. Hard work for boarders. There are still a few boarders that go regularly, including a couple of grizzled Lancashire lads last year, who were fast boarders.

There are a couple of boarding classes in the ski school.

However, Niederau is not somewhere that I would recommend for boarders. Having said that, the boarders do get to go into areas and edges that skiers cannot manage. And they make a great job of widening some of the off piste runs.

There is another solution of course........ it might involve changing your equipment. :-)

St Anton/Lech if you can get a deal.

Saalbach Hinterglemm

Hi tino,

A few points. You can check out the location on:

http://www.auhof.co.uk/new_location.html

Note the offer of a mini-bus service! In reality, it is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest lift, and then only another 3 minutes into the village centre. So you can take advantage of the offer of the minibus when you have your ski gear, and walk in for the evening.

It is at the opposite end of the village to where I normally stay, but you can wlak the length of Niederau in ten minutes. The Auhof is up the hill opposite the main slopes.

There are good pictures of the apartments on Jan's web site. There are great views from the balcony.

Jan and his family are really nice, very helpful, and you are sure to be offered some company for some runs.

If you go on those dates, we will be arriving as you are leaving!

Best wishes
