I would have thought that should be the very bare minimum anyway.

That'll be a nice change for you then :lol:

I havent flown in to Munich before, actually. Its also cheaper for car hire than any of the other airports, its a short and easy drive, its somewhere I know to make life easier, and the accommodation is very well prices for the time of year.

If anyone can show me accommodation anywhere else with a decent ski area on the same dates, I am all ears.

Ref somewhere cheap betweeen 26th Dec and first week January....
Myself and two other girlies (I'm almost old enough to be mummy ...) have bagged a triple room at the Staffler for £180 each, half board. We're driving down on 27th for the week.
However, before now, i've travelled on my own and have met up with friends when I've arrived. I've telephoned Angela at the tourist office in Oberau beforehand and have booked a bed and breakfast direct with one of the many, friendly, very clean and can't-do-enough for you private householders or pension owners. These rooms can be had, for the week, for about £20 per person per night, breakfast incl. I can give you some tel numbers if you like, but am away until late Thursday. L.

wasn't this suggested, surely you can drive there instead to broaden your horizons and you are also off to St Anton on 4th Jan, right?

XX- I HOPE YOU LIKE ST ANTON, TIS GREAT -XX

Leave Mayrhofen this year, it will still be there next.

Driving is not a viable option,

XX- I WAS SUGGESTING DRIVING FROM THE AIRPORT AS YOU HAVE SAID YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO THAT, ALSO THE TRAINS ARE VERY EFFICIENT AND REASONABLY PRICED -XX

it costs too much when you can get free flights. As I said, I am quite happy to go elsewhere, but I have not found anywhere with suitable accommodation at a cheap rate for the time of year compared to this. You do tend to look at places you know first.
Why dont you tell the Niederau gang to go and broaden their horizons????

XX- HA, HA, I HAVE COMMENTED ON THAT BEFORE, BUT OF COURSE AS YOU ARE AWARE, THEY DESCRIBE THEIR REASONS AND THEY HAVE FOUND THERE HAVEN SO I CANNOT DISAGREE, YOU APPEAR TO WANT TO STRETCH YOUR LEGS BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF RESORTS DESPITE OBVIOUSLY BEING VERY KEEN ON THE SPORT AND OBVIOULSY RELITIVELY NEW TO THE SPORT.

ABOVE (ON FACE OF IT), SEEMS TO BE £20 A NIGHT TO A LOCATION THAT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR DECENT ACCOMODATION DETAILS ON YET YOU ARE BACK AT MAYRHOFEN - WHAT FOR THE 6TH TIME??

YOUR POSTS CONTINUALLY SAY YOU WANT TO GO HERE OR THERE ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY RESORTS MENTIONED. I'M NOT HAVING A GO BUT YOU SAY THAT YOU ONLY GET OUT 2/3 WEEKS PER YEAR (NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT) SO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE RATHER THAT THE HARI KARI.... M IS YOUR COMFORT BLANKET -XX

You cant just write about 'M' in your new mag ) ... whens that out BTW??

Why should I tell you before anyone else....do you want to subscribe already?
