I was talking to an instructor in the queue and he was saying last week and this week were very very busy, but after and before were fine. I dont think anyone should have much bother out of these 2 weeks.

Even your photo doesnt really show just how steep that hill is! and that is the red!

Unfortunately, half term is a nightmare in a lot of european resorts. We went to alpe d'huez (a huge area) a couple of years ago and it was so busy that we had to queue for 45 minutes just to get onto the lift that takes you up from the bottom of the village to the top! I missed my lesson the first morning and managed to catch them as they were getting on the lift on the second. Horrific, it can make or break a holiday.

I myself found this very scary and the conditions were very good... and after we had a massive dump of snow red 24 (or was it 23) became more like mogul city because of all the powder and I found it hard to turn. Also again because of the volume of people it made it harder for to come down as you could identify a place to turn then a ski school overtake you and swamp the area.

Karen, it sounds like you had an unfortunate experience so, if I may, I'd like to add a little positivity to this thread for the sanity of the many people who are booked to go to niederau this season.

Said red (and I promise you, we didn't wait for everyone to pass, it was just graham and I):
