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 :-)

@hammerite, please could you update this thread tomorrow? If I come out it's either Schladming, Ellmau, or hintertux to be snow sure.

Certainly worth the trip. I imagine that the slopes will be a good deal busier than past weeks but I expect they will still be good to ski (if you don't mind the crowds). I don't know if there's much new snow in the Hochkönig but what there is should probably be ok (on piste).

I only ski on piste anyway so off piste won't be of any concern. Thabks for your help and info. I'll decide tomorrow whether to book the flights to Munich or not. Please keep me updated

@Ricklovesthepowder, nothing looks as pretty as yesterday. Lots of green between the pistes and a few brown patches appearing. The skiing is fine though and it is forecast to get colder for the rest of the week. Pistes noticeably busier today.

We're quite a way from Schladming though so things could be different there. Given we were in Soll two years ago when conditions were similar to this I'd give Ellmau a miss (I might be doing them a disservice though!).

Unless you have something better to do with your time or money I'd come out here.

@cad99uk, currently concentrating on preparing my house for sale. Depending on how long it takes to sell kinda dictates my plans. Some houses in my area have taken 4 years or more to sell, but I aim to accept the loss and price mine far more realistically. I've got a couple of 'plans' in mind, either looking for a job in the same field I currently work in, or perhaps retraining to do something completely different. Keeping my options open whilst I research both.

Lovely skiing in Flachauwinkl today. I never ski during school holidays so was uncomfortable with crowds of families and rapidly deteriorating pistes over the last couple of days. It was great to see the pistes holding up well today and the crowds dispersed over a bigger area making for a much better experience altogether.

Is anybody familiar with Maria Alm / Hochkonig?

I'm heading out for this weekend, staying in Maria Alm and I'm wondering how long it takes to ski the Konigstour - can it be comfortably skied in a day?
Any highlights which I shouldn't miss?

Thanks

Glorious couple of days skiing. Mostly artificial for the first few days but a sprinkling of fresh over night meant some fantastic hero snow this morning.

Forecast for some reasonable snow over the next few days so fingers crossed I'll be playing in powder before home time Very Happy

Great conditions in Radstadt and connected areas today, bit breezy up high but loverly powdery snow falling and all set fair for next few weeks. Fantastic skiing with fellow snowheads (Felicity, Adrian and Ben too). Quick shout out for Haus Susanne as a place to stay at if heading to this area: great people, food, location etc.

@bobbev999, hey you! Hope you are doing good fella!
We had an epic day blasting through the powder fields by Paradise in Haus, it really was damn cold we had to have a hut stop after 2 runs Shocked
As I told Waynos, the powder was great but there is still not really a proper bonded base so when we tree skied there were a fair few trips over bushes/branches/fallen trees if you weren't paying attention.
Give it a few more days of snowfall and we will be getting there. Very cold today, we lost Scarpa mid afternoon due to a really nasty cough (ahem) so he chilled in the hut while we ripped it, tomorrow will be even colder, minus 24 according to some web pages.
SnoodyMcFlude earnt his gnar points today skiing down the north face at Haus in a whiteout, snow was "interesting"!
