@CANV CANVINGTON, it's a fair drive from Obertauern to Kitzbühel, I'd allow two hours.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I don’t mind a road trip in there somewhere. I’ve wangled all in one hit , a lads trip for 5 days. 2 days solo then the wife and rest of the civilised bunch turn up for a week. I’ll need a day off the pop!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@CANV CANVINGTON, Have you got tickets for Schladming? The finish area is all ticket and sell out. On a cold icy January night the climb up the side of the race slope is difficult. Kitzbuhel is fine to buy tickets on the day, you can buy a three day ticket. Good viewing point for the Hahnenkamm is by the Hausberg jump, good view of the finish area down below as well.
Roads will be busy, especially Kitzbuhel Saturday and Sunday. Parking in Kitzbuhel?

For schladming it's pretty good to watch from high street, big screens, lots of bars, good atmosphere and in sight of actual race slope

Well that went very well. Dominic Paris my fave downhiller smashing it on a Friday. So crowds were down and I had a great view.
Night slalom in the red stand was a bit more industrial. Health n safety in this country would puke at some of the crowd safety there! But for me. Brilliant night and the perfect result again. Albeit hoping for a podium for DR
