Where's everyone watching the Ireland v England game on Sunday? Redhorse or hotel Austria?

(must start packing)

fannymagee · 26-02-2015 12:51pm

Pop into Sinead in the Austria when you arrive and ask her what's the plan

Paddy's day weather will be nice and mild, I posted last years pics a little earlier in the thread, the jackets were off then too!

Looking at flights out of Cork to Munich and the 1st to 8th of April are really cheap.

It's probably been asked a million times on here but is it worth risking it that late in the season somewhere like Soll?

Laurali · 04-03-2015 1:29pm

I think the season usually ends around 12th April, so I'd say you're really chancing your arm.

Obivously no guarantees, but if you're not looking to ski on nursery slopes or off-piste I'd say you'll be fine! There was plenty of snow well into late April last year, these we're April 21st 2014:

Thanks for the replies.

Will have kids with me who are first time skiers and will need nursery slopes so it might not be the best time for them.

Kitz will have snow and they have a high area for nursery if needed. You might not be able to ski back to town but the price will compensate. Its also low season so you will get great discounts and its only down the road from Soll

The kids nursery slopes (Kinderland) is at the middle-station, so that's actually not a problem. Just the adult nursery slopes are at village level :-)

PCwiggum · 05-03-2015 12:16am

I can imagine! But not make it this year

We've already put the wheels in motion for a week next year from the local though! Enjoy the rest of the season and thanks again for the thread!!

They clearly weren't taken on Thursday. Total white out. There were times I thought I had stopped but was still moving. Couldn't see a thing!

Jaysis I got all confused there, had to go back & check- they were taken & posted on March 6th which was Friday- not Thursday. Thought I was losing my mind there for a sec ;-)

My fault for the ambiguity. I meant that Thursday was so bad that it was obvious the photos hadn't been taken then. Friday was an excellent day.

Honest to God I think I have Boards.ie PTSD!!

5h4mr0(k when I saw our post I had flashbacks to the old days on here (not so long ago!) when every. single. thing. I posted was questioned and analysed- I have no idea why I go to such lengths to clarify, haha!!

Aanyhoo, yes all is well, you will all have a fabulous time although I still can't believe I won't be there for Paddy's- first time in donkeys! But such is life. I'll have to live vicariously for this one :-)

That's funny. Weather looks like it might suck on Wednesday. Thinking of dropping into Soll one last time before I head home.

Rain and light snow in most of Austria yesterday morning. Around 2pm the sun came out and it was a lot of fun. Hardly anyone around.

Laurali · 12-03-2015 10:36am

We're leaving Ireland on Saturday for Soll for the week. Pray for us and that there will still be snow!

Ooh the million dollar question! Will you be working? If yes, ask your employer. If not I'd get on to the tourist board & ask if they've any recommendations. If I hear of anything I'll let you know, but it's such a small village you'd prob be as well off striking a deal with someone renting holiday apartments outside the village...
