Hello! I'm planning to do the 7-day Ski Austria-Hopfgarten trip from Dec. 27, 2008 to Jan. 3, 2009. Anyone going that week? Also, has anyone gone before? How was it? What was NYE like there? I've never been out of the country for New Year's so I think it will be pretty awesome.

hey lindsay,

I am going the same week; cant answer any of your questions though lol.

It should be an awesome week!

Hello!
Yes, I'm out there too for that same week.

Will be bussing it there from London (OMG - 20 hour bus journey!)and fly back (only 2 hrs flight) from Munich/Salzburg/Innsburg instead on the 3rd Jan.

Never been to Austria on NYE but reading the other discussions, it seems very cool though.

Oh...I'm so looking forward to skiing too...

Hi guys! I'm seriously thinking about doing this trip as well! Went on a contiki earlier this year to New Zealand and it was awsome! Where are you guys from? Have u skied before? Hannah

hey im gonna be doin this trip! got it booked and all, catching the 20hr long bus ride from london so that shld be interesting! gonna be goin alone and its my 1st new years outa aus! so it should be a blast!..where are u guys from?

I'm from the UK... not far from London! Just feel like getting away for the New Year. I might be coming on my own or with a friend - not sure yet. So how long are in Europe? Hannah

well im comming over there and spending about a week and a bit traveling to see family,then head back to london and start the trip and then after the trip im goin home..should be alot of fun tho..if ya feel like getting away this would be a good place to go...have u ski'd around europe before?

skied in France last year - on French/Italian border and it was awsome. Also skied in New Zealand this August and I think Europe in general is supposed to be better. I'm just a bit worried there might not be much snow at the end of December. Have you skied before?

yeh iv snowboarded twice but only on the aussie slopes, all up about a month...but i know europe will be alot better and will test me alot..but im just lookin forward to the experience..new years in a dif country wld be amazing.
