Where do I start!
. No Snow
. Bad runs
. Not many lifts and really slow
. Not many slopes and always crowded
. Locals always trying to get money out of you
. My son got his drinks spiked and it was really scary
. Lots of people with broken bones and set in wierd positions! - Don't go to the hospitals.
.Terrible ski hire
. Prices going up all the time
. Very basic
. Can't go out at night without locals trying to drag you in their bars - very tiring!
. Food awful
.Toilets on slopes - Can't even describe how terrible they are and have to pay.
Could think of a lot more, but it might depress you. You will either love or hate it! But if you have been anywhere else it will prob be the latter...Sorry

That doesnt sound massively dissimilar from what was said about going there earlier this season on this forum by a number of people.

The best way to sort this problem out is Don't go :evil:

Anybody out there give any info on Kitzbuhel, I have been in the summer and quite liked the place, I'm thinking along the lines of a four day break next March 8)

I think Engleberg has more mileage for you Tony.

Thanks Pablo.

Ian - how much do I owe you for your promotional work?

Ally

Looks like a advert for your business Ally, no charge for my time in a promotional capacity :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
