My son and husband both got nosebleeds and we were not that high. My son's nose would not stop bleeding and his bathroom looked like a scene from the Exorcist! Neither if them are prone to nosebleeds at home and on the rare occasion they stop very quickly. Not this time. It was during the day- luckily we were back at the hotel but it was quite concerning. If altitude is causing this problem is there anything you can do to help yourself? To stay at a lower resort is not helpful!
My husband did get flu one ski hol after three days and that was the end of skiing that week. He was pretty ill and had we flown home a day earlier the airline would have refused to take him. Still I would have got an extra day's peace. Mmmmmmm!! |

It is really easy to buy lift pass tickets in Zell am See. I passed Schmittenhohe ticket office every day and have never once seen a queue. I know there are 2 other ticket offices- check out exactly where they are. You can pre book but personally I don't really think this saves much money. One other thing, if you are renting skis from Intersport-they do a bestprice offer for ski and lift passes combined where you can get upto 15% off the price depending on when you go- this is also worth looking at. Hope this helps!

I got Scott googles after they were one week old and they have always fogged up. I only wear them when it is heavy snow as I prefer my sunglasses. It is the most frustrating thing but how do I know which goggles will not cause this problem? This year it looks likely I will have to ski wearing my goggles so I really don't want this problem and will buy new goggles if I have to.
I will try the spitting! Are you meant to spit and rub though? Can't believe I am writing this! And I don't have much body heat so will try the under the armpit thing anyway. Do I spit on them first! Or stamp on them! |

I am haunted by the story of someone's coat getting caught on the drag lift and whipping it off along with all her upper wear so she stood there topless! Probably not even true! But I am not taking the risk so where can I get one of these all-in-one little numbers? Wel it is a better look than the topless on the slopes look!!

Are all goggles not anti-fog coated? I inherited these (looking after them for family member) and apparently they weren't cheap! I have the box somewhere so will go and look but I would be surprised if they were not coated at all! |

One question- maybe Ally knows the answer! So, how do you stop your goggles freezing on the inside? Everyone looks cool with their goggles, hat etc. I don't! I have Scott goggles and they mist up on the inside terribly, I can't see a thing and I hate wearing googles! As far as I am concerned they are a good, tight fit and I don't sweat excessively! So what is the problem? If I have to buy new ones can anybody recommend goggles that will behave themselves and I can look cool again! Thanks!

Somebody recommended Sayers in Yarm for skis and ski boots(apparently on the High Street there. I decided against buying ski boots for the time being but Sayers were highly recommended. Bit of a trek for you mind!
