Enjoy it Huub.
Weather is perfect and the snow is perfect too.
First time eh?
Be warned - day 3 is the make or break day. You'll feel as if you've got one leg belonging to a chicken and another one belonging to a giraffe
Get through day 3 and you'll be hooked for life.

And don't forget about the Jaegertee and Gluhwein as well as the Zipfer bier.
Try the germnkodel at lunchtime or a big grostl - plenty of energy for afternoon skiing.
I'm glad I'm not there with you - it always amazes me how such a wonderful race of people, living in a flat country, go totally mad when they get to a mountain. No sense of danger, no fear - simply "Wow, a slope - how fast can I get down it"
It was -18C most of last week but it's now warmed up to about -10, so it should be perfect.
Okay - I'm jealous!

yeah, it's a marvellous place, specially around this time of the year
Beautiful light, impressive rocks - Winterwonderland - remember Polanski's Vampire Dance ? It was filmed right there.
Wish you a great week, have fun ! though I consider the drinks more dangerous...
jealous 2, Tom

thanks guys, a warm 'waving out'
I'll take all your recommendations and warnings into account, special the 3rd-day warning, with my broken ankle last year in mind...
I took some lessons here at home, on a brush court, it'll be alright
prosit!

Send me a snowflake Hubird. I haven't seen snow in 12 years. (Moved to Oz from England)
Have a great time.
