No idea if there are any English run schools out there, though the Austrian ones should have fully-English speaking instructors and I've heard they're very good. No idea of price though...

| You can book lessons as part of the SCUK package, off your own back online, wait until you get out there or just play it by ear. If you can already ride, might be worth hitting the slope on day one, then booking a private/small group lesson for a couple of days rather than get restricted to a group lesson every day. |

| Hi Dunx, I'm hoping to make a decision today. Got another question/issue though - I'm looking at 2*/3* accommodation but need to make sure I have WIFI (free ideally) for work purposes....do you know which accommodation has wifi? |

| I don't, but my assumption is they all will. Give OG a call to see whether that's a reasonable assumption. |

Thanks 
About to book, does the backcountry party involve any snowboarding? If so, a certain level?
Can we book whilst we're out there? |

| Don't think there is any snowboarding involved - if it's anything like the Backcountry parties Outgoing organise for other events then it'll be more about partying than riding. I've no idea if you can book out there, but if in doubt, book beforehand if you really fancy it. |

Cannot wait to get me some of that! Hope we get some fresh snow while we're out there. |

Anyone know what will be covered at each level in the lessons offered on the outgoing booking form?
I'm assuming the beginner lessons are teaching you right from the basics... but I can already board, but not great, so was considering the intermediate... |

Another Q that I forgot earlier...
The booking page has an option to hire snowboard+boots, and a load of ski options (I assume its a very early April fools joke ) - my mate needs to hire a board and bindings, but has boots already... Which option does he need? Can he select the skis only (and accept the shame) but get a board?
Cheery-poos. |
