sort of, the difrence being we already had one or 2 world class cyclists before they threw loads of lottery funding at it, but the ideas right.

with a name like Chemmy you'd think she could pass for a yank, at least she'd get the funding her talent deserves :roll:

We are great us Brits we just love a loser, I think I'm right in saying that the funding is linked to proformance 8)

that's a bit like the chicken and egg debate, throw some decent money at british skiing for a prolonged period of time and see the benefits :wink:

ouch!that had to hurt, bit harsh Ian?

Andi - make use of the excellent ski schools to be found in austria and have a couple of lessons, you will learn so much more than trying to do it yourself and see much more of the resort at the same time!

Tony_H wrote:What made you choose another tiny resort?

I'd hazard a guess it's got something to do with the packages the tour ops offer, that said we went 2006 and 2007, 2006 and was perfect, heaps of snow and wall to wall sunshine the whole week, 2007 was awful and only the nursery slope was open and even towards the end of the week the snow had almost gone but as sued said, you jump on the bus and either go to st Johann or Fieberbrunn or Steinplatte which are much higher. Kirchdorf itself is very pretty and very very freindly. The ski school is excellent, they have a good mix of local instructors as well as english instructors. Raymond (follow me!) and Ernie (no worries!) are both brilliant instructors and you'll do well with either.
