Amanda,
We went to Shladming for New Year 2000/01.
It's a great place.
We stayed with Equity ski at Hotel Rossl, basic, but we had small kids and everyone was happy enough with it.

New Year was a blast! Watch out for elderly ladies chucking fire crackers in the street. It was so funny to watch them collapsing with laughter when they made people jump.
Someone put a firework in a tree in the main street at midnight, so the local firemen were called to put it out.

It's a lovely ski area, pretty town, quite lively, not like France at all.(in that France is not lively in the evenings - I happen, however, to love France)..you'll have a ball.

thanks dids had quite a few good reportsd from there i am looking forward to it, and there eveb seems be some places to visit if i fancy a day off the slopes for a rest, did you visit the ice caves? can't wait to see them

No, we didn't visit the ice caves. We had our kids in the kindy at Rohrmoos each day so couldn't go far.
Oh, the toboggan run is MAD!
7kms in the dark no one wore helmets even that recently. Can't believe no one was injured.
Great fun.

It's where my Mum at 60 learnt to ski.
I would like to go back really. I like Austria. but we always seem to end up in France as we're tied to school holidays and tend to drive.
In a few years we'll be getting late deals, Saalbach will by my 1st one I hope.

We try and go somewhere different each holiday, and next Feb half-term we are going to go to Courchevel, because we will have someone with us who is very fond of window shopping, and Courchevel is supposed to be very good for trendy shops, as well as good for ski-ing. And I would like to see some trees again.

We are going on the direct Eurostar train, and I have registered my interest so hopefully we will get the cheap tickets this time. And we will go out on the day train and back on the night train, which is something you can't do (as far as I know) with the tour operators. The tickets should be available around July. This way we shouldn't be too tired to ski on sunday, and we'll get an extra day ski-ing on Saturday (it worked out very well this year, the pistes were pretty empty on Saturday in Val Thorens).

And we're planning on staying in a cheap Pierre & Vacances self-catering apartment in Courchevel 1550, Maeva Les Grangettes, which seems to be right by the piste and the gondola up to Courchevel 1850. But we won't be able to book it until their new winter brochure comes out, probably also July. If someone knows anything bad about this residence or location, please say something before we book!

I have been looking at lessons, and I think we'll have to go ESF because the others are too expensive, and book morning and afternoon again. Ideally we want teenage lessons and Upper Intermediate/Advanced (depending on their standards and whether I get chucked out again for not being able to ski moguls fast enough - I am going to the Manchester snow dome for some mogul lessons).

I don't know what the prices will be because the brochures etc. aren't out yet, but I'm hoping they won't have increased, and the pound will recover some more against the euro.
