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 :-)

Does anyone know of handy methods of getting skis moved around Austria?
I'm going to be in Saalbach this weekend coming and then Ischgl a few weeks later and would love to do without the bother of karting my skis back home and then out again ... particuarly as Ryan Air will charge a fortune for the privilege.
A service where I could drop at a railway station in Salzburg and then pick up in Feb from Landeck station would be the ideal kind of thing.

Unfortunately the Austrian Railways don't offer such a service anymore (in former time you could send luggage to a railway station and pick it up). Now they only offer to pick it up at your place send it to a hotel or any other place but they require that you have a train ticket for the same route.
An easy and rather cheap way would be to walk into the next post office and send your skis as an oversized parcel (costs should be less than 15 Euros depending on the weight), but of course you need an address in Ischgl where you want to send it to...
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

, very interesting question. In the 1960s, when I skied with my father, he used to have skis sent from one resort to another - with the skis stored from one winter to the next. I think the ski shops used to organise the storage and despatch.
I wonder if that kind of service still exists? Maybe ask in the Saalbach ski shops - they would be used to sending skis around under warranty and repair claims etc.

Kangaroo - that is not quite correct. You do need a ticket but it does not have to be for where you want the luggage to go. We always send our skis from St Anton to Wien after the ski part of the trip, and then take off somewhere entirely different. In fact, if you have a Eurail pass then all you have to do is show it when booking the transport. That does not however help RichA - unless he can convince his Ischgl accom to store the skis for a few weeks. Might be worth asking...
