Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Strewth the group snowboard lessons in Flachau/Zauchensee/Altenmarkt are a LOT more expensive than Skiwelt - I'll give my mate a small victory for that one! 3 days, 2 hours a day in Ellmau was €95 with an online booking discount - it's €160 over in this area - extra half hour each day though but still... may be worth getting a one day private lesson for her instead! She's done 3 days morning lessons before a few years ago, but has the basics so I'm toying with the idea of just taking her out with us instead now! Can spend the money I save on Jaegerbombs to numb the pain wink

@carled, Remember there is no link to FW from Flachau. You would need to get a bus to Kleinarl to ski over there.

@carled, from Flachau you can ski all the way over to St Johann (pongau). That is a lot of skiing you wont get bored. If I was you I would base myself in Flachau and speak to Rupert Pichler from Fun and Pro, they also rent equipment so I am sure they will do you a good deal.

Hey @carled, I only teach through the school (and don't do snowboard) so I'm useless I'm afraid!

I'm very interested on the skiwelt lesson prices, do you have a link? That seems far too cheap for multi day lessons, It seems more like a 2 hour price!

Sure thing. Right here: https://ski-set.com/skischule. Stick in 22nd-24th Jan and see "Erwachsene 2 Stunden Snowboardkurs EURO 97,75 Preis für 3 Tag(e). Statt € 115,00." come up! Gear rental cheap too. Sorry, I was obviously exaggerating with "€95" wink

Sure Pam. I'll do it here to save time. 4.57756cm of snow will fall between 9:13am and 12:17pm on Easter Sunday. There will then be a localised flood caused by someone's hot tub cracking and the steam this creates will cause explosive cyclogenesis for the next 48 hours leading to 1.3m of fresh mangos to 800m. Glad to be of service wink

P.S. Hunt is over for this year - we are descending upon Kooky's place in Altenmarkt for our short break. We're going to attempt to do this with public transport, so fingers crossed for the efficiency of Oebb to shine.

Ooh. Can we come for breakfast every day? wink

2 main questions I'm going to ask the helpline if you don't already know are:
1. If our flight is delayed, can we use our prebooked tickets from, say, the 1pm train on the 2pm train without being thrown in jail for three weeks and
2. We're aware that occasionally parts of the trip involve using standard Postbus type vehicles. Are they going to get alarmed if we try and get on said bus with snowboard bags/luggage or is this all totally expected behaviour from idiot Englischers?

Dude chill! You are on holiday , believe me there isn't much that the Austrians haven't seen from the tourists😂and as far as I know your ticket is valid just if you use the trams remember to stamp your ticket in the machine when you board. The post bus is free with your ski pass. See you next week!

@carled, no problem with train tickets as Kooky says and the Postbus drivers will have seen it all before many times. The really nice ones might even help you with your luggage!

As for breakfast, the Freiraum cafe on the corner of the main street and Sportplatzstraße is a nice place for a morning treat!

@carled, no, just my Leap Year marriage proposal. Which you very charmingly turned down, on the grounds that Mrs Carled might have something to say on the subject.

Laughing this is just like old times. Thanks for the forecast, @carled. That'll do for now. A bit nearer the time I'll check for a bit more detail.

@carled, another top tip if you havent bought your train tickets - take a look at flixbus, it departs from Salzburg train station to Radstadt, sometimes its compatible with flight times, and if it is, its €5. You will then need a taxi but you need one from the train. Happy days. Most of all - enjoy your trip. Ange (Mrs Flangesax). Very Happy

Typical man - turned down the marriage proposal but suggested a threesome instead, eh? I'm glad to see it's not stayed with you for years or anything wink

Oohya. That could be a top tip indeed. Just had a look and there's a bus to Radstadt at 1pm and we're due to land at 11am. By the time we get luggage, get from airport to Bahnhof , grab a sandwich then we could be about spot on for that. Will investigate further, top work Mrs. Flangesax!
