Having got back from Niederau yesterday I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this board for all the useful info, tips and encouragement. The Sonnschein hotel was superb and the red ski school got this oldie beginner to come safely down a red by the end of the week with no damage to ego or body ;) Wanna go again! Soon !

Glad you had a great time, only 6 more sleeps and then we're off there :)

Hi Basketcase, where are you staying? Might catch up with you.

Hi Dave, we are staying at Alpenland, I hope we dont regret it as we had a great time at Harfenwirt last year. Could have a beer together if you like, when are you there mate?

very nice, brings back memories

Hi Jim,

its been almost 7 years since I visited this lovely place. It was Greyhound Coaches which took you there and it took a couple of hours. It should be quicker to get to Whistler now though due to all the work done on the sea to sky highway for the winter olympics. I think you can also get there by helicopter but not 100% on that. We stayed at Pacific Pallisades hotel in downtown Vancouver and the Best Western Listel in Whistler, both were very nice but I think most the hotels are very good anyway.
