Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

How that rain on Sunday has ruined 12 hours of steady snowfall earlier that day. Still some great skiing to be had but really needs some cooler temps and 5-10cm even just to freshen things up. Super impressed by the area it's just a pity Mother Nature conspiring against us with high temps. Some majorly heavy snow lower down and starting to get quite thin in places.

@quinton, That would also be my estimate, yet the local website snow report is showing a mere additional 10cm - perhaps it needs updating.

Cracking day today. At least 25cm of fresh snow on hill. Kids were going to side of pistes and up to their knees. Visibility wasn't too bad today. For those staying in hinterglemm the après at the Schwarzacher (beside ski school meeting point and Ubahn) is a great après venue. Mad old Austrian dj and squeezebox player. Good at getting the crowd going and you can watch all the skiers coming down. I'll rephrase that - when your kids have got miles more in them, you can have a drink or three whilst they do lap after lap and the slope including timed ski run, slalom and fun park. Happy daze Very Happy Very Happy 🍻🍻🍻🍻

@red 27, You can say that again! Skied down in heavy snow at about 5.30pm, then walked home at midnight, after an evening in the Underbar, and it's snowing like crazy. The roads are covered in deep snow, and we virtually had to dig our way to the front door! Bodes well for people arriving at the weekend.

@joe1978, stop rubbing it in. We've put up with every snow condition this week. Today was fantastic. Have barely seen the sun all week but forecast good tomorrow. Will get a few hours in the sun before we head home. In the words of Arnie "ich werde zuruck kommen😃"

Had a great few hours skiing on groomed powder IN THE SUNSHINE 😃 this morning. Slopes were dead too. Great end to a great week. Added bonus was that one of my mates booked a last minute few days with his daughter so managed to get a slide on the slopes with them too.

Arrived in Saalbach yesterday and spent the day up in Hinterglemm today.

There's loads of snow - it's piled knee high at the roadside all through the village. We came across one run that had been closed last week due to its orientation into the sun, and it had some bare patches but was still perfectly skiable.

It was cloudy and overcast today, which made the light a little flat and our skiing tentative as a result, but we still had a good day.

I feel duty bound to report since I'm here just now.
Pistes seem very well kept. Very warm today (10°+) and some patches suffering, 32a to the Goastall for some apres beers was very....interesting.
But it's lovely up high even with the interesting outfits due to fasching week. Very Happy

Overnight snow and a change to the conditions, with wind down at valley level. It's still snowing lightly but due to stop around midday. It will be interesting to see how many lifts are operating.

@red 27, Only about 3 or 4 inches, but it is still snowing lightly and I'd expect that by lunchtime there will be another inch or so. Not loads, but enough for a decent top up.

All the links to Hinterglemm are closed presumably to stop folk moving around the valley and getting stuck in one or other area, but all of the other uplift is running so far as I can see. Stick to your backyard seems to be the order of the day, which is fair enough.

@honved, The link to Fieberbrunn and the Zwoelfer Nordbahn, Sunliner and Reiter Ost lifts are closed due to "stormy weather" (not to stop people skiing between Saalbach and Hinterglemm, which they can still do using the lifts that aren't closed - on the Schattberg side).

One of our guests has just come back from shopping in the village and reports a sizable dump - deep snow on the streets etc. However it's only been snowing since about 4am and there could well be a lot more to come today. It's currently snowing more heavily than an hour ago. Will keep posting updates.

Update at midday: It looks as if all lifts are now open except the Zwoelfer Nordbahn.

Snowed pretty much continuously until around 3pm then some more this evening.
I'd accurately predict sh*t loads of snow. Smile Smile
Honestly we stayed on the schonletin side all day not wanting to get stranded at the top of asitz for a second day in stormy weather considering the morning closures. But the amount of snow falling was amazing. Knee deep at the sides of the pistes in places. Great day and hopefully great tomorrow.

I'm missing your updates guys and gals, especially, @Tatman's%20Tours, it looks like it's dumping heavyily at the moment looking at webcams.

Wondering if you've been overdoing the apres?

It's really a case of no news is good news. It's been snowing off and on since last night and is snowing lightly as I write. According to http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Saalbach/6day/mid it's due to snow heavily later, and the next few days look very promising indeed. All 70 lifts are running, and I haven't encountered any closed pistes of late. Even piste 68 (which, being the lowest and lacking snow cannons, tends to suffer the most) was open when I last went in that direction last Friday.

I would say that the last few days, particularly last Thursday and Friday, have been the best skiing days of the season - although it's currently a bit murky up top, the second half of last week was sunny with cold temperatures, powdery snow and beautifully maintained pistes. A fellow snowhead (kooky) came over on Thursday and couldn't believe how uncrowded the pistes were, considering it was the main Austrian and Bavarian half-term, and also Fasching week - e.g. we had pistes 68, 65 and 57 virtually to ourselves. It looks as though we may get similar conditions later this week.

On the apres front, it's probably fair to say that we've been overdoing it - but we keep hooking up with guests and friends, who understandably want to make the most of their week here and keep enticing us into first the Bergeralm (for Happy Hour between 3.30-4.30pm), and then the Hinterhag Alm. Later in the evening we also seem to be drawn inexorably to the Otzi Bar and the Underbar, especially when there's live music - Cuckoo in the Underbar on Friday, and Spacey every Sunday and Wednesday in Otzi Bar (and Bobby's on Fridays). Bobby's Pub is currently teeming with swarms (if I'm allowed to use that word) of school kids, and I would surmise that the same applies to places like Castello and Taverne.

The gifted Irish band, Cuckoo, are next playing in Bobby's Pub on 29th Feb, so that's a date not to be missed for anyone who will be here. They have a new Australian fiddle player, who is quite an extrovert. They whipped up a great atmosphere in Underbar on Friday, and I'm sure they will do the same in Bobby's on 29th.

I'm currently wracked with guilt, as Mrs TT is limping round with a damaged knee, having tripped over a step in that notorious scene of mishaps, the Hinterhag Alm. My fault, as I was hastily leading the way towards a table that had just been vacated, and I didn't pause to warn her of the step (she's lost her varifocals during a previous evening of riotous Hinterhagging). Consequently it's slowed us down a bit, and that's one reason why I'm sitting here at my computer, rather than out skiing (although I shall be heading up the Kohlmais shortly).

Quick check in - good conditions across most of the valley, with the fresh falls overnight leading to s few mounds in places today, but nowhere near their worst as it has been surprisingly quiet for half term. Longest queue so far was 5 minutes.

Still bare patches above the Goasstall on the east side, but this is south facing and steep so always has problems. The west side is holding I well.
