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

AxsMan, Stayed there last year.
Unfortunately we were very late in the season, so not only was most of the town dead, they had also closed the lifts leading from town.
Very nice looking place but due to being shut didn't venture far from the hotel. the Dengle bar was actually part of our hotel, very good, even if it wasn't a riot at that time of year.
Skiing will involve touring along the various ski areas to Muhlbach to make it worthwhile. If the snow is good the links should be ok. If not you may have to start off on a bus.
Mountain restaurants great, family owned mainly.
If you get the chance try to find the hotel in the next village, big pink thing just up from the bus stop on the main road. Waitress in traditional costume with enormous cleavage. Impossible to keep eye contact.

FAQ
The hotel is really nice, spacious studio rooms (are you using timeshare by any chance?). The food in the hotel is good but there are loads of restaurants in the area, very good value and huge portions! The first year we went we took their half-board option but it was a mistake, not as much fun as choosing a different restaurant each night.
so you might find the area a bit limited. I'm a definite "holiday skiier" and I think it's great. In fact, this year we're getting a points card and not a 6-day pass as we don't really make enough use of the pass and the points card is loads cheaper. The drag lifts use hardly any points at all and we like to ski on the runs at the back of the hotel rather than get the bus to the Ahberg (think that's how it's spelt 
)
Not sure what a 'real skier' is, but if it's someone who likes to ski between bars and meal stops, we qualify. Not worried about limited areas, some of the most fun we've had was at Courmayeur which is definitely not a mega resort!
