Parts of the Three Valleys Snapzzz.
Also Les deux Alpes - the runs back down to resort at lower level so needs reasonable cover for these.

Packing etc in full swing.

But very concerned as to why Felthorpe and Sinbad are above me on the list as I will be there before them by at least an hour !!!!!!

Favouritism.

There is a border coming this year.
Seems nearly reasonable enough so far. Obviously somewhat deluded and, perchance, a little strange - but, new experiences in strange lands and odd people can add to the enjoyment and feeling of the intrepid traveller to these type of trips.
I will report back.
Thank you for posting this - very instructive.

I really need some help with that fall down backwards on a flat bit and can't get up problem I seem to have.

Do you have a tutorial on this topic or any advice.
:lol:
There is a fair bit of snow forecast for next week over most of Austria - keep an eye on the forecasts and condition.
Also the warm spell is passing through by this next w/end
Just for the day.....

sking on steeper terrain

Keep skiing and you will get better.
Keep having lessons every season.

And keep your speed down from the first turn when going onto slightly steeper slopes. Your muscles are probably aching because you get faster and faster and then expend more and more energy "braking".

Keep slow from the start, finish properly every turn, take it easy and focus on turning efficiently.

Make sure you practice "beautiful" skiing on easy runs some of every day. This will help you lock in your good technique and be very flattering - nothing beats knowing you have just done some lovely turns!

Oh and don't forget to enjoy yourself.
:D
