I've skied Saalbach in mid January many times and conditions have always been fine!

I get that Verbier, but I get the impression that Oojudoo is a one or maybe two week a year skier, and the last thing they need is a ski that needs effort to get the best out of it.

I like Fischers and love the Watea. Will try its replacement the Ranger this season. Anyone tried the Ranger 84 or 88?

But also stiff and unforgiving.

Good investment if you need them, waste of money if you don't.

You are preaching to the converted here. I cut my teeth and learned to ski at the Scottish centres, being based in Edinburgh. However, having seen what the rest of the world has to offer, I now realise how primitive it is.
I also got fed up with the blatant lies in the snow reports such as 'breezy conditions'(Howling gale), 'low cloud'(10m visibility)and 'All runs complete'(with rocks, moss, heather and rivers)!! :roll:

So, to summarise, no-one can recommend skiing in Scotland

Good videos swingbeep.
Bergers one in my view demonstrates that at a more advanced level the movement is more in and out than up and down, and that the turn is initiated by the lower body.
I would still say it is vital to learn up and down extension before moving on to advanced techniques.

Yes, Austria is good for skiing.
