 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've read somewhere that Kitzbuehel is not the place to have lessons, as the standard is not very good. We going there for a week on 23rd Feb (staying at Strasshofer hotel). We are both reasonable intermediates and would like to improve technique and learn to carve properly so we look a bit more stylish on the piste!  Any suggestions as to where/who to go to?
Also, anyone stayed at the Strasshofer and would like to comment?
Where else to go for a day's skiing whilst we're there and why?
Favourite intermediate slopes?

Sorry, never taken a lesson there. Have you looked at Resort reports?
Lots of good easy and intermediate slopes and almost nothing difficult.

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

Know nothing about lessons or hotel, sorry. Almost all the slopes are good for intermediates.

Thanks guys; I realise belatedly I probably should have put this into the resorts section!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Stayed at the Strasshofer a couple of years ago, great little hotel, the rooms are very small though. Friendly family run hotel, very central, decent food, no complaints at all.
As for ski lessons, cant really comment as it was my first year, but thought the quality of the red devils school was excellent & in comparison to some Ive had since, I think it rated.

My wife, a second timer skiier, had private lessons with the Red Devils ski school in March 2007 and appeared to improve a lot. Her instructor was a bloke called Hans Hass, a local farmer. He spoke good english, had a good sense of humour and looked like like Benny Hill.

Stayed in the Strasshofer a few years ago, nice little hotel in a great central location, good food as long as you're not veggie:
Hotel staff "Tonight it's the farmers buffet, all kinds of meat, steak, chops, sausages, chicken"
Lady on table behind us "I'm a vegetarian"
HS confused "We have chicken"
Lady "But I'm a vegetarian"
HS "How about fish?"
The lady ate a jacket potato and some salad!
Had lessons too, with the Red Devils, they were fine
Most of the area is fine for intermediates, you'll have a blast I'm sure. Pack your swim suit too, there's a great swimming pool and your lift pass (I believe) gets you into free.
