True - my rink-a-dink comment is more around the fact that many of their smaller resorts are likely groomers only (which is appealing in Europe, but close to my idea of frozen hell). Of course, their small hills are going to be bigger and with natural snow, but for me, the experience wouldn't be that much better than Rabbit Hill or Drumheller or Powderkeg.
I may be totally mistaken though. And I'd still enjoy a lame day of groomer skiing more than just about anything else. Austria sounds awesome.
