Skiing

Hello Skiiing freaks ;)

(I am not sure if i am posting this message to the right group but please exquse me in case im wrong here..)

I have been watching how much fun it is to ski for the skiers for a while and decided to give it a try with a friend of mine who also has totally no experience in skiing.

Our idea was not to spend a lot of money being in the best slopes and nice looking areas but going to a place rather cheap (but safe) and good to learn for a beginniner (since my frined joining is from Eastern Europe and can not afford it otherwise).

Thats why we decided to concentrate on eastern Europe.

We made a quick research and found a place in Poland called Zakopane which also has a beginners slope. As far as we researched the prices in Zakopane (along with a guide for both of us and the equipment rental) are affordoable for our budget.

So my question is: Can anybody advice me places anywhere in Europe which are cheap but also good for full beginners? (so that we can make a comparison and make our own minds).

We will be going to the trip at the end of December.

Any advices would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for all the information in advance.

Many regards from Bremen.

Guten Tag

I am Fernando from Argentina. I will go to Innsbruck on march for 3 months. I want to improve my ski level and do randonne routes (like silvretta, otzal, and others).

I want to go mountains and meet people. My dream is to across Alps by ski and I will start on Austria. So I am looking for people who likes ski touring. Any help is welcome!

Best regards, Fernando
