Having had a week in Soldeu before xmas, and having just returned from a brilliant week in Mayrhofen, I have to agree that there does seem to be a distinct reduction in the number of snowboarders scraping snow off the piste!!!

I can only assume that with the average semi- detached now being worth less than half a million pounds that the 'want it all now', 'silver spoon' generation have suddenly found that the run on the Bank of Mum and Dad is no longer sustainable!!! Shame!

I'm heading out to Mayrhofen on Saturday. Same deal. I also asked for advice and got some excellent replies, including from Tony H. If you look half way down page 2 of the Austria forum its all there.

I'll post some stuff when I return as well.

Thanks Tony and other contributors for all the advice. My holiday is an allocate on arrival, so I dont know where I will be in the village, but will soon get my bearings and find my way about.

Sounds like I will also be avoiding the Penken gondola, as I am not a first gondola type skier. It is a holiday after all!!

Will let everybody know how it goes. Looking forward to a new resort, and new experiences. :D

Thought I would put this out there rather than as a PM, as I'm sure I wont be the only one visiting Mayrhofen this season!!

Just booked unbelievable deal from local airport and looking for general advice on best routes up the mountain, ski buses, apres etc.

Also, we have a huge mob of friends going the same week who will be staying in Lanersbach. Will it be possible to hook up with them fairly easily?

Defintely Glencoe - 100% :D

Well, Its a while since I have skied at Glencoe.

And I think its you thats making the false claims. Have you actually skied there?? I'm not so sure :evil:

Aha!!! I think I see where you are coming from now, although it does look a little like the old Costaccia chair in Livigno.

Now that link looks like Glencoe!!!(Flypaper??)

Still less than convinced though Ross :!:

Whats the definitive answer Verve123????
