That looks like an awesome way to have a week or two ski trip and Austria and do the winter driving school as well! How much was the school? The Euro is coming down slowly, so Austria may once again be a great place to ski on a budget.

In December 2009 it was 2.250,- EUR for the two days training incl. insurance and a two-night stay at a five star luxury hotel in Sölden, which included breakfest, lunch (of course at the top of the mountain) and dinner.

Chris, that is a pretty cool winter school! Do you remember what the name was?

Is it: BMW Snow Intensive Training This two day school is only 1.590 EUR. Can that be right?

BMW also has a three and four day(and a one day!) winter schools as well!! Now THAT sounds like my idea of a fun week!!

Looks like so much fun. I wish they'd teach this here, but I guess it wouldn't really work out in S. Carolina.

You´re right David.. it was the BMW Winter Intensiv Training.. that was the former name in 2009. I also checked the costs.. it was 1.250 € instead of 2.250 € !!

Best combination would be this training and the special BMW Drift Training for 370,- € one day before or after the two day course

We took our annual ski vacation in Soldein this past February and it was absolutely spectacular. The cool part was that we were there while they were filming the new James Bond film Spectre. We could see the helicopters flying overhead and from time to time hear explosions or shooting. My boys thought it was the coolest. I wonder if I could do this school next year back to back with our ski trip. Hmmm.....

Thx for the bump Dave
Indeed.. good to look at these pictures when its >30°C in the living room.. lol

@Rainier: Back then in 2009 the training was in December.. AFAIK the training are now only in January and February.. so when you plan your next trip to Sölden make sure its either in January or February
