I know this isn't exactly why Greg started this area but I wanted to alert any of you who may be interested to a trip myself and a friend are planning for the '04/'05 season. We're planning a trip to Europe (Austria and Italy right now). If any of you are interested I'll be posting more info here as we have the dates and other info set.
We're going to have skiers of all abilities. My wife will be coming and she's not what I'd call an, "aggressive," skier like myself. Her, and some of the other wives, will probably hang out during many days and either ski the less challenging terrain and check out shopping and other sites. As you can imagine, there are a lot of things to do over there.
I don't know how many (if any) children will be coming. Not sure if we're bring our son (who will be 2 by then) since I don't know anything about the daycare facilities on the mountains over there. I'll post info about this as well.
Either way, we're planning a nice trip. Some people are probably going for 2 weeks. I'll probably be there for 1 week (I'm a sales guy, tough to get away for that long). It will NOT be a totally structured, "tour-like," trip. We'll have a basic plan but play many days by ear to see what everyone wants to do. One of my patroller buddies used to live in Austria so he can show us around a bit.
Also, if you can't hang with people who like to make fun of each other I wouldn't suggest you coming. It's a brutal crew but we all have fun and never mean (or take) anything personally. (This is my disclaimer.)
I'll post info as I we figure out more info.
