first skiing holiday

I'm a begginer myself, and i've booked Alpe D'huez, seems good for begginers with plenty of stuff for the non skier, and i got myself a decent deal. Worth to have a look

i think we have decided on niederau and staying at the hotel sonnschein- i havn't booked it yet inghams booking lines closed at 5.30 so i left it a bit late to book it today will do it tomorrow - thanks for all the help - just one more question - is it very likly that there will be quite good snowfall at christmas time ?

i dont know about the snowfall but I don;t think the resort is very high but have no idea about how much there will be at that time of year

From mid December, almost all Tyrolean resorts are running with a mixture of artificial snow and the real stuff.

Hello

I'm new to this and new to skiing. Not sure if it's considered poor etiquette to hijack someone else's query?

I'm also on my first skiing holiday and I'm looking to go to Bulgaria with my girlfriend. We'd have to hire everything and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on places to stay or packages that include accommodation and ski/snowboard hire?

Cheers
Canny

Hi Canny, welcome to the forum. For your very first trip, I would suggest that you let a tour Operator sort out your Flight/Hotel/Transfer for you. As it's your 1st trip, you are a bit short on knowledge right now, plus as you are going to Bulgaria, you'll be outside the Euro zone, so paying for taxis etc is a bit harder.

Have you had a look at the big Tour Ops brochures yet?

It's worth looking in the Accommodation Offered section on J2ski. There are some Bulgarian advertisers.

For Ski hire, http://www.skiset.co.uk/j2ski/ offers Pamporovo, which will save money on walk in prices.

I can also recommend Seefeld, I have been there so many times I have even worked the high season weeks for a period of 3 years. :D As said previously there are 3 main areas, all connected by a free bus, excellent other facilities (the pool is fantastic and open during the day, unlike others which open after skiing has finished). We used to stay in a hotel called the Hohe Munde, think this is now renamed but is in the centre opposite the church, The Post is another good choice right in the centre square about 5 min walk from the slopes. If you dont mind being a little further out perhaps 10 min from the nursery slope but close to a bus stop I can highly recommend the family run Hiltpolt hotel. oh btw there is now a cinema close to the station.

Hi Canny

If you are new to skiing, can I ask why you are looking to go to Bulgaria? You will find other countries with much more to offer at similar prices for a weeks skiing, where your experience would be much nicer. Its fine if you like beggars and dodgy gear though.
