Take no notice, Sm4sh; Mr W specialises in negativity .... He even slagged off my choice of erotic underwear !

Have a great time, and please post a report when you get back to help everyone else.

Come on Billip I bet you're hiding a few labels on your person :D


Yeah, ok, you got me Ian; but those Ann Summers knickers I'm partial to won't be any good in Niederau - they just ride up too much !

If anyone asks tell them your wearing Aldidas, that will confuse them. :D


Well, if anyone makes a judgment about you on the basis of the name on your clothes labels, they aren't really the sort of people worth knowing are they ?

We already did ! But thanks Tony for mentioning those other small resorts, which I didn't know of, as they sound just my sort of place )

One thing I would say to any totally new skier is that it pays to get yourself in fairly decent shape before you go, to get the most out of your holiday. After all, you don't want to find that by mid-week your legs are too tired to get you through the day, so that's my only tip really, do a bit of exercise before you go, especially on the quads.

As regards dry slope practice, I have no experience and hence no opinion. Wherever you decide to go, I hope you have a wonderful time !

Hi B & J
No, I had no dry slope lessons before going, but was in the ski school every day while in the resort. This went at a perfect pace (for me) and I made more progress in a week than I had thought I would.
