toilets on the french slopes
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 41 Replies
well this post has certainly made me curious...the last squatter I came across on the ski slopes was one in La Thuille in the lift station at the bottom (excuse me) a really new one ...they are a bit awkward so I have done some research...

makes you think ...
anyone tried the Arlberg Tunnel instead of Munich
seems an awful lot of bother when you can ski them all from any of the places you mentioned ...any vital reason you want to swap bases?...especially as it is a long drive between them !

this site might be of help

The Gastein valley is 45 miles away and Obertuern is 14 ...depends on the snow conditions at the time and what type of runs you want
This pass does it all

Obertuern is the nearest big resort and is snow sure...not very picturesque though
depends which lift pass you want to buy ..Amade or Salzburgerland

have I read this wrong...shouldn't it be "no expenses spared"..

I have not watched any of it, the coverage seems to have passed me by.
Getting fit for skiing

I totally agree that we tend to ignore the quads and the flexion area round the knee , as i said before when I was in France in Jan my legs were the bits of me that gave out at the end of a days skiing..In the hope of going again this season (cash permitting) I have increased the squats and am doing may dips with weights on the Bosu in the gym ...plus lots more real non impact CV ie the stepper and cross-trainer...I might lose some weight as well but that means eating less...the only way

the BMI index is great if it is measured properly ...my doctor told me to ignore it
