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 :-)

@Markymark29,
I'm afraid that is too optimistic.
Austrians are not like the Dutch (or the English??)....they are not as candid, and tend to avoid negative news....Especially if it suits there wallet...
And anyway, weatherpredictions more than 5 days ahead are nonsense always...No Austrian Farmer, late yellow gentian or early hibernating Murmeltier can tell me differently Very Happy
But let's indeed hope the weather pattern is not turning out to copy autumn/early winters 2014 and 2015....because there are some similarities already....(some early snow and prolonged very warm temperatures afterwards)... The loss of snow in Lech/Warth this week was remarkable...Evil or Very Mad

Skied in Stuben today - about 10-15cms of snow fell last night, but other than the most sheltered spots it was already heavily wind and sun affected. Solid snow depth on the pistes around St Christoph and Stuben, and especially where they've been bashed last week I still expect it to last. Snow cannons were running up on Kapall too.

TBH warm weather until the winter tap turns on properly is fine by me, and if it works out like that would avoid the deep persistent weak layers of the past two seasons.

Yep. Rain / warm weather now is better than clear skies and cold air above the early season base. Best scenario would be unsettled and miserable weather then getting cooler, rain turns to snow and not stopping until March Happy

Ochsenboden is not new, has always been there as an extreme route.
Problem now is the inconclusive information that SkiArlberg is giving about the situation at the Flexen-Trittkopf Middlestation.
The main skimap (not the interactive one) is suggesting from the station a red piste is available towards Zürs.....
Is gonna be very interesting: Trittkopf I and Flexenbahn have much larger capacity than Trittkopf II.
And 50% of Trittkopf I gondola's coming from Zürs with people automatically goes up to Trittkopf II...

Stiil far ahead, I know, but as we are all sitting and waiting this horrendous Föhn to stop: A new clear "snowsignal" has come up today in the -up till now very dry- long term weatherpredictions: It should come timely on December 1. Let's all pray!

Nice! Had a fun day skinning up the old pistes at Pettneu last season, but had to turn around and ski down early when we found a lost husky!

ok stupid question, I should know this... does the Flexenbahn take skiers both ways (which would seem logical) or do you still have to take a bus one way?

I assume skiing directly down to Rauz is not possible (without a parachute)?

I am concerned about what is behind that Dec 1-3 depression... rising another possible fohn, at least it appears to be colder than the last two pre Xmas/Sylvester seasons so they they get the cannons on.

@stanton, Calm down......it's November. I'm there 23rd December and i'm chilled about this years prospects. Its been a great start, OK warm Föhn this last week or so but its still early days, I see this as consolidation/ base layer formation time (or am I missing something)? You commented earlier this week that its melted below Galzig, I don't know which webcams you are looking at, the ones I look at now and again look pretty good. 2 Saturdays ago Clarky999 was skiing in knee deep powder down Kandahar, that can't be such a bad thing can it, the piste bashers will have hammered this already and the cannons are working.
