Default Help please: Lech or Hinterglemm for easy intimidated beginner

Hi there,

As probably everyone else I am about to book my Christmas ski holiday.
I have had a few lessons on indoor real snow slopes and am now about to
do the real thing for the first time to which I look extremly forward.

Thing is however I am frightened of height and feel very easily
intimidaded by steep slopes. As I have become to understand there can
be quite a bit of difference between the steepness of blue slopes in
different areas. I am trying to find a place which has very flattery
wide unintimadating blue pistes but does have enough blue pistes to
entertain for 7 - 10 days.

I have heard Lech or Saalbach-Hinterglemm are very easy for beginners.
Is this true? Would these areas do it for me? Any other areas which can
be advised? Any word of advise in respect to the snow sureness?

I am not so much interested in a intense apres-ski but do like a lively
enviroment. In that aspect I fear that Lech which has no restaurants on
the piste might be a bit dull...

Any comments would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

Michael
