Oh right - in my mind, your trips were a regular thing...

My last two or three trips have been 5 day'ers to Kitzbuhel. Fly to Munich and it's a couple of hours from there in the car. We can do two of us, sharing a car and a double room, all in for about £1000 each.

We've sort of figured out how to save a bit - we tend to stay in a hotel in Oberndorf (about 10 mins in the car from the Kitzbuhel base station) which works out about 20%/25% cheaper than Hotels in town and we rent our gear in a place called Reith (which is on the way in from Munich), again saving a significant amount.

I should be there now but have to skip this year as College Fees are looming large on the horizon for September. :cry:

We learned long ago that if you're not into your Apres (which we absolutely are not), staying in the resort is a waste of time. (Having a non drinker mate who doesn't mind driving in the evening helps too. :D )
