Finish her :shock: or finish with her?

Now you just need to find a mountain with four walls and a roof )

Have fun and good luck!

That reminds me - I must phone the cattery to say they're not coming today but tomorrow instead as like you said, we fly Sunday!

Jolly Good indeed.

We fly Saturday!

It's funny, putting your skis on is one of those things that everybody struggles with at first but then a few weeks down the line you simply can't see how it was ever difficult!

If your skis do 'pop' off, don't forget to check that the rear part of the binding is in the down position. Sometimes after a release the binding can stay up in it's 'closed' position and you could end up spending hours trying to get your boot back in again!

Obertauern is within an hour of Salzburg and is high. You can also sort out very reasonable transfers via they're website.

Never been but I keep looking at it for a short trip.

Makes me feel anxious just reading that - although am I'm fine on the mountain. It's funny, I'm the opposite. At home I'm quite scared of heights and I remember absolutely hating going up on the London Eye but chair lifts and gondollas are no problem at all.

My girlfriend, and her sisters, have quite a fear of walking down steep hills yet she is more than happy to ski down them.

Not sure what to suggest. I would imagine the location probably makes a difference. In Austria for example, as the mountains are usually lower they are generally more tree lined. It may be that the trees make the piste feel more enclosed and safer.

Difficult one.
