I'm afraid it's not too up-to-date and with all due acknowledgements to the owners, here is a piste map ... I will try to scan a new one showing the new lifts soon :P

When you see it like this, it makes you wonder what all the fuss is about :shock:

I paid 0,98/ltr for 95benzin today and 1,01/ltr for diesel yesterday ... but it was as high as 1,48 for diesel in the late summer

Look!!

It'll be here tomorrow too ... Don't panic, keep breathing and relax ...

We have had over 5800 distinct hits on our cam today since 15:00 GMT 8) That must be some kinda record for a resort with only 70km of runs :P

I guess popularity breeds webcam melt down ...

We will be trying to restore normal service asap :shock:

btw, it's snowing gd now :)

See, Tony, that's my point ... What am I missing and why haven't I already mastered this skill ??

Although Trencher's quote has got me thinking ... (Tks btw Trencher!)

I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who can comment on the likely experience I would have if attempting this activity for the 1st time.

I have watched many people skiing in this way and been very impressed by the style, ability and apparent ease with which “tricky” conditions were dealt with.

I’d love to have a go but don’t know if I’d have the knees for it. Is it going to take ages to get the hang of it?

I should say that it’s the going down bit that I’d like to start with, maybe trying the going up bit in time ;)

Finally, how much should I expect to spend to kit myself out with suitable gear if I enjoy it?

Cheers
