There are rules, not just on the roads. There are also some rules to follow on the ski slopes. Two Klagenfurt lawyers explain to the "Krone" newspaper what you need to bear in mind before and after the fun in the ski huts.

"Krone": I have booked a weekly ticket, but I'm afraid I won't be able to ski because of the snow conditions. Will I get my money back?
Robert Oberlerchner and Daniela Lackner: In general, there are no refunds; however, it is advisable to check the terms and conditions of the ski area concerned. Some offer goodwill solutions without any legal claim.
