bennyboy - Verbier? back of the Savolyres ridge? :?:

You're missing the point folks. The only criteria to choose between chalet and hotel are:-

1 - Proximity to decent snow
2 - Space available

Anything else is a bonus. Chalets and hotels have both given me memorable ski holidays and restricting myself to one instead of the other would have missed some of those.

Snow and space, that is all,

Berwang?

Best to seek specific advice from your (other half's) doctor.

From experience, neither my son (very mildly asthmatic occasionally) nor my brother (less mild) have had any problems skiing.

I know some people can have an attack triggered by cold air but the air is (usually) cleaner in the mountains so dust/pollution reactions are unlikely.

Obviously carry the puffer at all times just in case; don't ski in blizzards or howling gales, and take it easy at first to see how you get on?

As you're going in April the weather shouldn't be too extreme and, with a bit of luck, she may even find that skiing / mountain air has a therapeutic affect.

But do check with doc first.

Cheers,

Good thread Tino... and Tony's rules sound good; whoever gets it posts the next picture.

I'd guess at somewhere in the Valais - no idea where really but the restaurant looks fairly big so probably a good-sized resort. Zermatt?


Picture Size - It's not so much the bandwidth but the pixel-width - please could everyone keep their piccies (in this thread and elsewhere) a maximum of 600 pixels wide? Otherwise those with less-than-widescreen monitors have to do a lot of scrolling... :evil: 8)

visit every ski shop as you travel

have long long dreams about skiing and wake up in a sweat
consider changing jobs so that you have more time skiing
wear you ski gloves while raking leaves,,just to "break in" gloves once you have spread non-toxic, animal friendly cream
begin wearning your ski boots in August
think of buying a car with folding back seat for extra skis

If you have at least 9/10 symptoms

Sorry Pav, I'm missing something - doesn't 9 out of 10 of those symptoms make you completely normal? :evil:
