Hi Brian & Jane
I know nothing about St Anton. All I can say is that a year ago I was in the same position as yourselves, except in my 50s, not having ski'id since a schoolboy. After browsing this site I decided to go to Niederau in Austria, and would recommend it to any beginner who isn't looking to mix with the smart set, or who wants trendy discos til dawn, but who wants a manageable resort with a great ski school (the Red one) and a friendly atmosphere. That's all I can offer really. (PS: I've been back twice since, and am going again in Jan!) |

Emma: why not throw caution to the winds and just book an extra week :)

Will look out for you on the Friday Blodyn ! I will have two delightful young ladies with me ... sadly they are my daughters ;)

Well, I'll be there starting Jan 8th for a week. Hope Gunter's bar will be in full swing early evenings !

I've had no knee problems, but am not a youngster. Would it be a sensible precaution to wear a brace "just in case" ?

Yes, I heard Raine interviewed on Radio 3 a while back talking about his new book of poems. He was imagining himself sinking, helpless, into the deep, yielding snow as his children watched, unable to pull him out.

Sounds wonderful Paul; I won't be there - am saving myself for Niederau in early Jan, but I hope you and the kids (and any buddies from J2Ski) have a lovely time !

Thanks Dave; no doubt my sideways reference to an Ultravox song was a bit esoteric )
