Schladming
"Schladming is a charming and unspoilt provincial town with an onion-domed church and magnificent eighteenth-century town square. It has its own regional lift pass, and the ski area is also included in the 25-resort Skiverbund Amad lift pass, which covers 270 lifts serving 860km of piste. The resort is therefore a very attractive base from which to explore huge tracts of mostly linked intermediate skiing and snowboarding that are entirely unknown to the majority of British snow-users. Anyone looking for Lederhosen-und-oompah Gemtlichkeit will discover that it still thrives here. Schladming is extremely popular with Austrian families, and the slopes are subject to overcrowding during the local school break in early February."

schladming.gif (76201 bytes) Typical Austrian town with loads of charm. Great black run back to the bottom of the Planai gondola where the locals sit in the bars opposite and laugh at everyone falling over ! (You have to join in of course if you made it down yourself without wiping out).

Andy Stakes joined Rotaski for the first time and taught the other 13 of us that you only need one shirt to last the week. He was as surprised as anyone when he got home and found the others neatly packed at the bottom of his suitcase.
