Movie Maker is the editing system for PC's I was thinking about, My Dad uses it and he thinks it's OK

Steer clear of Crans then :D

Majority of cross country piste are lower down in the valley so no need for a lift pass, a very cheap way of skiing but too much like hard work for my liking -)

Right here we go, We are driving, lunch time Saturday 02/03/13 channel tunnel, overnight in Bruges meeting up with a few friends for a couple of beers to celebrate one their birthdays ... depart Sunday for Winterberg for a four night stay, not a great deal of skiing but hey ho it is cheap. Works out at three days skiing although I think we might ski it out on the first day, might try and get a run on their bobsled run. Reasonable 3 star hotel B&B, lift passes, channel tunnel 500 euro total ...... plus a couple of gallons of fuel.
Got so pee'd of with TO's availibility that we decided to do something different spent 4 nights there last august so we have walked most of the pistes, reasonably priced restaurants and the people very friendly.
It will be a slightly different report when I come back .... :thumbup:

Can't beat a bit of Jazz :thumbup:

I was stuck in a chalet with three jazzers when the lifts were closed by storms at Tignes. I don't mind music with a bit of melody but this trio insisted on playing CDs by obscure herberts with no tune, rhythm or discernible lyrics. They sat around, nodding their heads, and whispering 'nice' and 'cool' -just like the Fast Show sketch!

Anyway, I sneaked into the kitchen, raided the chalet girl's CD collection and secretly swapped this 'jazz' stuff for Alvin Stardust. The jazzers were horrified and didn't speak to me again all week.

Result! -)

Precisely.

When was jazz actually ever cool anyway. The 1920's maybe.....?

I think most things would be too cool for Austria Ian. Its a fantastic place to ski with lovely friendly people, but cool is one thing it most certainly is not :lol:

In your opinion of course :lol:

What Hotel St Christoph ...... that was alright, but can't afford this time round 8)

Has that been moved to Folgarida????

I think the quality of the go pro is very good but there are some very good
alternatives that you can use without having it strapped to the top of your swede or using the baby harness, I really do like the idea of the camera
being fixed to the side of my goggles. 8)

Which models do you have in mind there, Ian?

I have been looking at the Contour HD, but nothing set in stone yet
