Started the day in fine style meeting Mr and Mrs Caron-a for our trip on the Big Orange Ski Bus from Gatwick. I'd not flown into Innsbruck before so that was cool - has to be one of the most impressive approaches, through the mountains, to any airport anywhere and a great way to start a ski hol. Off the plane, no Q for passports and barely time for a wee visit before the bags were out and off we went.
Collected by Mr and Mrs Jan within 15 minutes of getting off the plane and then whisked up to Niederau.
The Auhof is an impressive and tastefully appointed apartment house "on the sunny side" with great views across to Niederau's pistes (partly obscured by falling snow as I'm writing this - yay!). Top hospitality - we were all made to feel very welcome from the word go. 8)
Had a fine afternoon's skiing - trying to keep up with Dave Mac (who is pretty darn quick for any age of skier - Tony H take note) and was delighted to see Caron-a's first post-injury runs ending with smiles!
Will post more with some pics later.

You must have rear-view mirrors Dave... 8)
I can confirm that Dave The Legend Mac doppler-shifts from blue to red as he passes at light speed...
Snow now falling quite heavily - should be lots of soft by the end of the day and freshies tomorrow! :D :D :D
Glad to hear its been good Dave.
Innsbruck in good weather is a fantastic approach, snow and peaks each side of the plane as it flies down the valley - breathtaking.
Jan appears to have a habit of making everyone very welcome; hes just that kind of guy.
I did warn you Dave Mac was quick!
Why oh why did I start this "Dave Mac = Legend" nonsense?????
Great to hear Caron-a is getting on well. I thought she would love the reds at the top by the T bars, they will do her the power of good.
Are you planning on visiting anywhere else while you are there -I'd be interested to hear your take on Auffach?
Enjoy.
