Update on working my first ski season!

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:42:12 GMT

Hey again guys! Just here to keep you all informed - I received all the details about my training and placement!

Flying out on the 1st of December to Soll, Austria where i'll be training for 4 days with my employers; Directski.com and then i'll be there an extra 2 - 3 days training with the Austrian team!
After that i'll be going to Niederau where i'll be placed for the winter season!
I've heard a lot about Niederau from you guys on here, a lot of good chat about the place.

If anyone wants to throw in their own about Soll or Niederau - things to look out for and the like - feel free - It'll be a great help! Already started researching these resorts and checking the piste maps! Gonna get planning some routes and work out my way around the resort, check out the accommodation and all the rest of it :XD:

AHHHHHH! I'm actually so excited.. Like.. So excited :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I can tell you about the training course. It will involve things like teaching your gran how to suck eggs, how to dress for the airport run and it will also involve lots of drinking, maybe some dressing up and dancing on tables.

I gave Dave Mac a little message - cheers Bandit.
And judging by your reactions, "N" is a pretty good place! Had a looksie at the piste map, the local area and the like - looks amazing! I've never skied anywhere in Austria, but it is a family/beginners resort - which i'm happy with seeing as it's my first season too! Really can't wait..

Received your pm, Baillie, and I'm on the case, as soon as I am back from the evening tennis session!
I'm pleased that you have Niederau, they are a bunch of friendly folks there, and there are some good runs. If you have a squint at my www thingy, you will get an idea of the type of runs.

Just watch out for old geezers in red jackets bombing the runs.

Dave Mac is a Legend in 'N', all the girls (young and old) know him...

On a serious note, 'N' is a nice place. During the day. In the evening however, it's a completely different story because everyone seems to go to bed at 8pm and 'N' becomes a ghost town. Unless Dave's in town, that is.

Was wondering who you might mean, Trencher, then I realised it must be all those old Schileurers I ski with. Load of old codgers. Need to find a younger group!

Steady, Coop, from where I'm standing, all the ladies are young, and even if they weren't, I'd tell them they were!
Dunno where you were looking after 8.00pm.... :wink:
