 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello Everyone,
Great site. I am off to the Zillertal for Easter. I am an intermediate aiming to get my 2 sons upto speed. My eldest son (14) skiied some red runs in Mayrhofen 2 seasons back. My other son (12) was like a kamikaze down the slopes and I feared for his life!!!
I am staying in Fugen and was wondering which part to go to on the first day. We will obviously need to build up on some gentle slopes. I have never skiied Hochzillertal or Hochfugen and was trying to work out the best for us. Any ideas/tips would be most welcome.
Also, with it being so late on in the season- any tips for blues and reds as obviously the later in the day the sun would be having an effect on the snow- which slopes get slushy if any later on in the day?
Thank-you very much and wish me luck as they are a handful without skis 
Cheers
Dan

Dang, welcome to Snowheads.  Sounds like what they need is lessons!

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

Dang, as pam w, says, lessons might be a good idea!
With the combination that you're describing and if you're going to go for it on your own, then I suggest you head for Hochzillertal. I don't have a piste map to hand right now, so I can't give you piste numbers to head for... But, go up the gondola, when you come out at the top turn left, there's a blue road that takes you to an 8-person heated chairlift called, possibly, Schnee Express, or something similar... From the top of there, ski down heading right, you come to a wide open blue piste accessed by a T-bar or by a 2-person chairlift. From there you can take the Z-road back to the top of the gondola.
At the moment, early morning is good, well pisted, but it's getting pretty soft everywhere by the end of the day. Snowed yesterday which has freshened everything up.

Thanks Pam & Sara,
They both have had lessons in Mayrhofen. Just a little worried as it was a while back and do not know what they will be like at the beginning. I am sure at the end of the week they will be more advanced than me.
I just wanted a head start and start off in the right area as we only 3 days on the slopes.
Thank-you once again

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Dang, For sure, by the end of the week they'll be better than you, but without at least one reminder lesson to start them off you could be setting yourself up for a nightmare couple of days. Still, that's up to you.
If you have any more questions, give me shout... I know the area pretty well.

especially if they mow down anyone else during that time....  Didn't someone go to prison for that in Austria last year?
