 Poster: A snowHead

I'm thinking of trying to join a group already going to St Johann im Pongau, Austria, over Easter. We'd be staying nearby in St Veit. They're located about 50km south of Salzburg.
Anyone else been there? Is it any good? I'd be interested in any info that people can give.

I've not been there before, but as it happens last week I arranged a short Easter break to St Johann im Pongau (travelling on 8 April with FlyBe from Birmingham to Salzburg, then I'll get the train down to St Johann i.P - I've arranged via the Internet 5 days B & B on a farmhouse/guesthouse in Alpendorf( a village next to St Johann). Looking at the map, St Veit is just a few km SW of St Johann. St Johann is part of the SportWelt ski region, info at www.sportwelt-amade.com (select the English menu option at the top).
I know Austria has had a lot of snow this season, but it has been very warm this last week, so let's hope for colder weather to preserve the snow!
If you do go, let me know, and we'll try to meet up (perhaps at the St Johann Gondola station or some other venue/ bar?  ).
Cheers

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

Alastair - I'll PM you with my contact details. I'm going with a group who I've never been with before so don't know what the deal is. I found out this morning that we get the o-my-god-its-early flight from Stanstead to Salzburg on Fri 9th, meaning that we're able to be on the slopes by lunchtime. We fly back on the 8:30pm-ish flight on Monday 12th (after a day's skiing).

I met up with Alastair out there and went skiing with him for an afternoon. The snow conditions were superb...
Alastair - great to meet you.
