They look interesting but are generally low elevation. No issue in a ‘normal winter’ but not ideal in a warm winter.

@snowave @jimk You people that reside close to mountains and proper winter are living a fantastic dream. Don’t take it for granted! I’ll be in Japan (skiing Nagano area) for 12 days at the end of January/start of February and skiing in Europe (likely France given my wife’s preferences) in late...

Lack of green veg. Too much ham and cheese and bread.

That looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

https://banfftours.com/activities/johnston-canyon/ If you get a spare couple of hours off skis that is well worth doing in my opinion.

Food looks lovely - particularly the venison. And those beans would be in grave danger if I was in attendance.

I have a difficult time in Europe. My brain struggles that there is no green on that schnitzel plate.

The hotel looks great but ultimately out of my tight arse league. Have you found the food to be mainly German based or Italian or a mix? When we stayed in Arabba just prior to Covid the language spoken at the hotel was Italian and the food had a distinct Italian bent. There is a suggestion that...

I’ve seen the videos too but generally they are not at all aggressive. I’ve certainly never experienced any issues with them.

I plan to do just that next year. It looks beautiful. That’s Alpe Di Siusi? And you got the gondola up from Ortesei? Did you hire the bikes at the bottom of the gondola?

I played at Mount Coolum course today. It’s not St Andrews but it is scenic in it’s own way. Kangaroos in the foreground.

Terrible weather! Are you planning to check out the WW1 trenches near Lagazuoi?

I’m pretty sure it’s a carpet python. Non aggressive and not venomous to my knowledge. As Tony says we have very deadly blacks, browns and tiger snakes in our locality.

It’s only Tuesday that looks like a right off at this point. I reckon you’ll have a great time. Send pics.

How is this plan going? I’m planning on being there this time next year so I’m very interested in your trip.

Yeah. This is a priority to me. I can’t go this October though. Hopefully next year.

Just reading this 'report' again because Patrick is there now. I must have missed the above. Wow. Saves me a long and costly trip. :)
