Been snowing for the past few days from what some of the guys I know out there have been telling me. Can't wait to get back out there just as soon as I get this stupid pot off my foot and back walking! Looks like it's shaping up for a good season

I arri8ved in Lech yesterday. First skiing today, 6inches+ of fresh snow on top of an icy base & still snowing. Glorious skiing, sun came out for lunch at Petersboden. I'm told the Madloch opened thid afternoon for the powderhounds. We are due to do the white ring tommorrow. It is below freezing so it should still be great for Christmas week.

Is the White ring a loop around Lech/Zurs? I was looking at it last year with my kids, it appears I can do 99% of it on blues, does anyone have a view on wether a 10 and 7 year old could do it? 10 year old is parallel, 7 year old isn't!

kitenski, in a word, no. There is a long, wonderful, but often unpisted itinerary down to Zug which forms an unavoidable part of the Ring

kitenski, Highly recommended, but get out early to beat the crowds at peak times. Fantastic run but it is a challenge down to Zug and as previous post says it may be too much for your youngest, steep and icy and unprepared in places also. To do the Ring it takes 5 hours or so, including the Zurs section enjoy it!

Tip.
Start in Zurs finish in Zurs.
Avoid Wednesdays as virtually every Tour Operator takes there guests and reserves many well known stops (Mountain Huts).

I agree with Stanton, but be on the first lift and bezz about...............begin by going up the 2P old chair, down and accross road to Zurs.................hint, go up Muggengratbahn and do the loop on left back down to Zurs before going up Madloch, you'll enjoy that warm up and mega scenery before you do the big run down to Zug (one of my Top 5 routes)...............fantastic day out but keep moving and keep ahead of the crowd................take plenty of €'s for lunch in Oberlech!! Great open runs on otherside of valley on Trittkopf etc......only 4 weeks to go, yee haa

thankyou. A great day with fantastic snow conditions, the sky was overcast for all but a brief glimpse of sun late afternoon but visibility and light were not too bad. Not many people on the slopes and deep untacked snow to be found off piste everywhere. The Madloch lift did not open so we had to bus it back from Zurs.

First thing in the morning, the Madloch - Zug section is really only "blue". Groomed and almost nobody on it. The only time I have seen it not groomed is when it has opened just after a big storm.
It becomes more difficult as the day progresses - fairly serious bumps, some icy sections, and lots of people.

Yestreday we took the bus to Alp Raus but condition were worse in the next valley,it was a white out & we sort refuge firstly in the Ulmer hut with hot chocholate & rum and then groped our way back down to St Anton & then on to St Christoph for a long and great lunch in the Hospitz Alms & then called it a day.
Today was a perfect blue sky day with great snow to be enjoyed. The Madloch opened then closed to deal with an accident and a avalanche or so we were told, it re-opened at miday & we did the White Ring after lunch. Plenty of snow on the route which was getting roughed up but good fun, a great day.

Had a good day in St. Anton today: light snow all day and very cold. Pistes were almost empty this morning, a little more busy this afternoon. Conditions: perfect! Tomorrow should be a very cold and sunny day, so it should be great!

FAQ
) intinerary. If staying in Lech I would say get the bus to Zurs and whip straight up the fast quad chair up to said 2-man, and start the Ring there.
