Now come on Tony, we all have irrational fears, for instance I have a mini panic attack if I hear a bell ring in a bar. :mrgreen:

Grindelwald - Switzerland, Train to the topof Kleine Scheidegg at 2061m, no lifts required, all blues and reds.

Hintertux Glacier´- Austria, 3 gondolas, bottom to top at 3450m, no open or exposed lifts required mostly red runs.

Tignes, France - Funicular to Rocher de Belvarde at 2827m, red, blue and greem to bottom.

Zermatt for a holiday.
Saas Fee to live, if I had the chance.

I think most of you have failed to see exactly what O'Learys real genius is.

Stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap......to start with
Raise you're prices to a level just below the competition
Make the pricing ambiguous to cause contraversy
Have you're most costly expense paid for by your detractors

Marketing is King in the service sector, Ryanair don't pay a penny.

Sounds like a very short runway 8)

Had a similar experience in Malta many years ago, the plane came down flat and bumped along the runway several times all because it was a very short runway :shock:

certainly gives you a start, Palma airport is the same in wind. "Right Terry, left at the end of the mountains, give it a few yards and remove the keys. Jobs a guddun."

Have you been drinking?

Yes :mrgreen:

I thought so 8) neither the word 'good' nor 'article' belong in the same sentence as 'The Daily Mail'.

Planning on doing a "learn to ski in a day" course at one of the indoor snow domes before embarking on a holiday, most probably by snow train (not overcome the flying phobia just yet :?

Just had a quick look, assuming you are coming from the UK, Paris seemed like sensible starting point. Between 6 and 7 hours into Grindelwald, changing at Basel and Interlaken. Trains in Continental Europe are easier than dropping your toast on the wrong side when compared to the UK. The other advantage of this is seeing the landscape, the train from Interaken to Grindelwald is simply stunning.
