Oh dear ise :(

And where would suggest for a good all-round ski holiday for the "average " ability skier ?

Morning Trencher ,and thanks for your input.I normally steer clear of anything with "race " in the name,and stiffness is'nt a word I like either ( well not in ski-ing terms anyway),but I'll check them out.
Kind Regards
David :)

Morning CW.
Yes,for sure Ischgl is a party town,but not for youngsters.Its much more pleasurable than ,say,Mayrhofen.Basically,it's a middle class beautiful resort.There are no "nasty" ,ugly buildings,plenty of pleasant restaurants and good bars and clubs.The Apre ski is second to none.Better than St.Anton and not soo crowded.France has NOWHERE like it,and I skied there for 10 years .including all the usual suspects like ValD,Courcheval,Meribel etc.Its a snow-sure resort.Never had a problem in 9 years,excepting the 2 red runs down to the village.Only one thing I would say against the ski-ing and that is the ( relative) lack of black runs.Its also not noted as a beginners resort,in other words,an intermediates paradise.I could recommend hotels if that is how you holiday.
Look up their website www.ischgl.com.Enjoy the experience,its beautifully maintained as well.Piste bashing at its best.
Cheers

Fair enough Bandit,its your perogative.

Bandit,seeing as you replied soo politely,I can comment.
I understand your reluctance to embrace new technology and,after all,the likes of Oakley do indeed make a quality ,PROVEN product.Obviously you are welcome to visit the Uvex website,but my guess is that would'nt suit.My friend just back from Beaver Creek first spotted them in,I think ,2006,and was convinced by the local skiers to try them.In Beaver Creek there is a dedicated Skiglasses/goggle shop who allow you to try before you buy.This,of course,he did.Loved them and immediately bought a pair for himself and his wife.And this is a guy who swore by Oakleys.Also go to about.com and read the review there.The technology eminated from the US Airforce.

Cheers

Thanks Bandit,got anything useful to contribute?

Morning Timeforabeer.No,cant find them here in UK.
As I said earlier available on-line from the States @ US$169 PLUS postage.
AND,a friend returned last night from Beaver Creek,he bought them out there last week for us$200 ( well it is Beaver Creek) and says they REALLY work.Go great with a helmet and are well worth every cent!! :-) :)

Take your point Pablo,but they DO work...NOW :-)
