Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

After spending the night in the airport waiting for the early flight I was just too knackered to be bothered with hitting the slopes for a half day on arrival. Just had a wander round town to get my bearings and then get a good kip ready for first lift the next day. Was probably a couple of hours between landing at Salzberg before the bus left anyway as there were flights in from Cork, Dublin, Gatwick, Birmingham, Bristol and somewhere else all in close succession. So there are a LOT of people faffing around looking for their bags and busses.
One thing to note is that if you're thinking of using the loo immediately on landing you might be best to go before the seat belt sign comes on on the plane as it is very crowded in arrivals and getting through passport took as while before you even get to a loo as well.

I'm a bit worried about all this but im also hard core enough to not care and plough onto the slopes regardless and die of exhaustion that night
We'll play it by ear anyway.
Cant't wait after the **** snow in the 3 Valleys last year its going to be like night and day skiing this year.0 -

There is nothing as comfortable as an Austrian bed and duvet post skiing:D0 -
Woooooohoooooooo! Heading to St Johann soon, can't wait... in preparation, have been reading about Max's bar, and been playing with the awesome 3D piste map and vids over at http://www.bergfex.com/stjohann-tirol/
Only issue is, I just can't decide whether to ski or board exclusively (and book the hire and lessons for the week via TopFlight in advance) or do both (and hire for 3 days each when I get there and take the odd private lesson)...
The OH will be skiing, she's semi-beginner (will be moving on to parallel turns I expect). I've ski'd before (15 yrs ago) but am only semi-beginner at boarding which I've tried a few times in recent years, and would like to get better at!
Assume I can just decide when I get there, and be flexible, without paying over the odds?0 -

If you are boarding, i'd recommend a day in Steinplatte. It has much longer, wider runs and plenty more boarders out than you will find in St.Johann! There's a free shuttle bus (30mins journey) that runs at 9am and 10am from outside the main slope (down from Max's). Don't miss Max's inside between 5.30 and 9, it gets mental and watch out for the schnapps/tequila coming down through the roof!!0 -

Cheers guys. Looks like I'll be boarding! Hope Steinplatte is covered by the area lift pass!
Yeah it's covered by Schneewinkel lift pass, which you get through TopFlight. That gives you access to 4/5 slopes around the area (all need a bus to get to from St.Johann, but all free shuttle buses). You'll have to pay extra if you want the pass to cover Kitzbuhel, but if you're doing lessons and only there for a week you won't have the time to get on the slopes there so its not worth spending the extra bit of money on.0 -
