 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just had a closer look at some of the Crytstal Ski offers.
They have trips in January to Rauris for only £199 per person based on a 2 people sharing, B&B basis, once the discounts and already reduced price have been taken into account.
I am an advanced skier, so I feel that I might be a little frustrated by the limited range of pistes (only 30km). But for that price would it be foolish to stare the proverbial gift horse in the mouth?!
I was thinking of breaking up the week with a day to Salzburg, which I love, or maybe visit one of the other local resorts.
What would you guys do? Save your pennies and find somewhere more challenging, or tear off Crystal Ski's hand and just enjoy being in the Alps for 7 days at a snip?!
Advice appreciated.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Pallen, if getting to other places is a possibility, go for it.

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

It is a bit small but very pleasant but I can't think of one black run that's likely to be open and there is only one decent red but you are not far from the Gastein Valley or Zell am Zee

Anything less than 200km of slopes is too small for a week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

£199 is cheap but 30km of piste is v. small. If you go then why not go and learn something new..snowboarding, free heeling or similar - that way the 30km of piste is not a restriction..

Crap. Only if you're one of the sad "tick-off-the-runs-on-the-piste-map" types, who never goes off piste.
I would agree however that 30km would not keep many advanced skiers happy.

I've never been to Rauris, but have been to all the resorts within an hour (Dienten, Saalbach, Zell, Altenmarkt, Gasteins etc etc) and it's a fabulous area, but I personally wouldn't go without a car.

Les Arcs was on there the other week for 199 aswell, sure there will be plenty more as the time gets closer.
