Hi all am taking my 15 year old nephew skiing again he has been with us for 2 weeks over last 2 years.Problem he has is he can go down slopes ok and turns but when it comes to stopping he carries on across piste.

I've tried to explain technique (hockey stop etc) but find it difficult to describe.He's also had about 4 private lessons and we'll have more lessons this Jan.

Can anyone offer any advice

Thanks

Wow thanks Tony H,one week just isn't enough

Thanks lads we are there for a week (Inghams) will probably have 1x2 hour tuition & 2x4hrs what itinerary would you recommend would we try both Kaltenbach & Zell or just stay on Penken.

Another suggestion was to ski to Finkenberg is this an option we are all early intermediate?

Finally any recommendations on ski hire & tuition

Thanks again

Thanks to all particularly Tony H staying half board so just got to organise hire & tuition.

Thanks again

Thanks for all advice booked Mayerhofen 15th Jan as got a good deal hopefully this will be ok for kids(11 &13)3rd time skiing so looking for blues and red runs

Is the gondola up to ski area a big issue?also should we book passes, ski hire, tuition before or when we get there? any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks for replies €619 is per adult but thinking about it probably is a bit pricey.

Can anyone recommend alternative best deals or should I wait until last minute.We are flying from Ireland.

Thanks

Hi all 2 adults 2 kids 11 & 13 got price of €619 HB Krammerwirt hotel Mayerhofen or same price Modlinger hotel Soll, flights included mid Jan.

Were probably intermediate so what do people think?
Any advice appreciated

Thanks we're not absolute beginners done about 7 days skiing but not having been here before would like to maximize time spent by planning ahead if possible.

So should we try Plattjen gondola on 1st day or nursery slopes?

Saas Grund also looks like a good idea

Thanks for help
