Went skiing for the first time and loved it. The only problem was that my hat / beanie kept on climbing above my ears making them cold. I don't know if it's the shape of my head and it looks pretty silly too almost like a chefs hat!

Can someone suggest a hat that will keep me warm but more importantly stay where I put it so I don't have to keep pulling it down.

Cheers

Going to Niederau next month.

Was in Niederau last season and going to Mayrhofen on the 17th Jan for 2 weeks, (can't wait :D :D :D).

Just trying to get a feel for the place before we go.

It was a couple of years so no idea of the price - sorry - but do remember that I was very happy as my skis had been in a bit of a state at the time... 8)

Perhaps being in that bit of Zumerset does something to kill the brain cells? Or are the staff especially selected to be PITA :roll:
