Radstadt have been felling trees yesterday and today. The lifts needed to be delayed first thing whilst helicopters were helping out, they were up and running by 10am. The teams that have kept the roads clear and services running need a few crates of beer - an amazing job continues to be done. Very very impressive. Ange

All gone a bit quiet on here, I'm guessing everyone is enjoying the epic conditions. 10 days of pretty great skiing done. Powder days for the first few days and a bit of sunshine over the weekend, (Plus a trip to Vienna for the Officer's Ball on the 18th!). Touring this week but been playing in the variables in Zauchensee and Off-Piste today. Great that the avalanche risk is now a bit more manageable.

Hi all, we are heading out to Flachau on 9 March staying in an apartment in Haus Amadeo. I am looking for a recommendation for the following if anyone can help?
1) Ski school for the kids for the week? Currently drifting towards the sportamjet ski school as they include 7 day ski hire which would suit our flights.
2) Cheap taxi firm to get us from Salzburg?
3) Any restaurant recommendations both on the hill and for the evening?
4) Is the Therme Amade worth a visit one evening?
5) Any recommended ski shops that can modify my boots?
Thanks

@o11y,
1. My experience with sport am jet as not great but that was for a beginner. How experienced are the kids? I like Herman Maier ski school adn Fun Pro always look good with kids
2. Huber reisen. €50 euro return on a shared minibus - the price hasn't gone up for the 9 years I have been going, or get a quote for private book in advance http://www.huberreisen.at/e-online-flughafentransfer
3. In the village Wienstube for pizza and pasta - not far from you. Salzburger for burgers and pizza a bit further the other way, towards the village centre. Posh scran at Possruck, Zum Holzwurm, Schusterhausl and Hoagaast. On the mountain Auhofalm just above the middle station of the Flying Mozart, Sky lounge at the Achterjet, Lisa Alm below the achterjet skiers left
4. yes if you like that sort of thing
5. no experience but there is a recommended place in Altenmarkt - someone will be along that knows

@holidayloverxx, As a matter of interest as you used the word "scran" (a well known Jackspeak word) in your post above do you have a Navy connection?

@o11y,
1. @holidayloverxx, knows this stuff
2. Yep - Huber Reisen for a shared, or, any taxi outside the airport is €130 one way - our guests did this last week.
3. @holidayloverxx, knows
4. Yes, kids love it, its worth a trip.
5. Most shops should be able to help - we use Sport 2000 in Altenmarkt, Intersport in Altenmarkt is another good shop.
hth - happy holiday. Ange

Just got back from Schladming last week. My first visit to the area and I have to say we were very impressed.
Conditions were fantastic - wish we were still there, rather than being back in the office. Oh well, got to wait until a week on Friday before the next fix

Thanks. Kids are 7 and 5 and have had around three weeks each already. I will look at the other schools. Have you used Taxi Jager who can offer a private transfer for 110 euro each way?

@o11y, never heard of Taxi Jager but a google shows them to be based in Filzmoos, Check with Huber who I know to be reliable anda re based in Flachau. Ange quotes €130 but that's not pre-booked so it might be a bit cheaper.

@holidayloverxx, yep, it was 130 for a 'walk up', off the plane and into the first taxi for 7 people. There is also VIP taxi, and Habersatter Taxi, from Radstadt but both do airport transfers. Ange.

@o11y, boots, go to Sport Schneider Altenmarkt, ask for Gerli, he does a lot of the WC racers, you may not get an appointment tho as he is almost always booked out.

@o11y, also 're the ski school, go to Fun and Pro, Rupert Pichler and his staff are amazing, my son used to work for them, they are very family orientated and not just after your dollars.

Hi,
We're a family of five from New Zealand, here until end of March. Our children are 4, 6 and 13 and keen to find some others (esp 13 yo daughter) to ski with. She will do some ski school but any tips or introductions greatly appreciated. Also dad (me) is looking for an instructor or guide in the area that can help with an intro to ski touring, maybe around Alpendorf or from the Hahnbaum?

Also, any tips on where to find a good big screen to watch the downhill this Saturday (or GS on Friday)?

@jonathanco, I've replied to your PM. No idea about instructors or guides to touring, but the races will all be on mainstream TV here. If you don't have a TV, the Strassalm usually shows the races.

@jonathanco, Or a short tour to our local, the Moosalm, that is only 35-40 minutes 
I also have spare skis and skins if your boot sole is below 320mm, plenty of people do short tours in Alpine boots.

Skied Altenmarkt yesterday. Perfect snow. Later in the day, after being skied by decent numbers, te snow was great, just a few grippy patches.
No wind, looks like 10-15 overnight, about - 7c now.
The Radstadt/Altenmarkt pistes are a joy. So interesting,

@Frosty the Snowman, agree completely. We were there last week and really enjoyed it.

@Frosty the Snowman, @Pamski, agree totally. Our little local hill might be a small ski area by modern standards, but it has so much variety and a very friendly vibe.
@Pamski, glad you had a great week, hope to see you here again.

@pembsflyer, we were there last week and liked the hut on the way down to Altenmarkt on the left before you get to the bottom of the chairlift. Bifang Alm which is described as quite rustic.

Oh interesting - I didn't like that at all. self service tiles like an ice rink. The one at the bottom of that chair is better, I think

@holidayloverxx, you were bang on the money with recommending Winklalm at the top of the sunshine shuttle (first lift at Flachauwinkl) yesterday for lunch
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
@holidayloverxx, we didn't go into the one at the bottom as we liked Bifang Alm! They came and served us at the table. We weren’t eating there though just coffee or hot chocolate. We were impressed everywhere we went by how many different places we could have stopped at.
We loved the few hours we spent at Forstau, so quiet and in great condition.
