well it rained at the St Anton village (1300 m) all Sunday night, but snowed from about 1400, then at about 6 am it started snowing everywhere and it has not stopped yet as of 4.15 local time. Very windy and mosts lifts had stopped except a few from the village up to the first station. Serious white-outs up top - I got caught in one and could not workout up, down or even see the piste markers, all made more difficult by the big drifts caused by the driving wind. Clearing up a bit now so looks good for tomorrow

Rain at town level is not unusual at all during the day any time during the season.

St Anton - still dumping at 7 pm, knee deep on piste- what piste because nothing is pisted - waste deep in drifts - low light but better than the white-out of yesterday

enjoyed Arlberg pow today, great stuff, blue sky, pisted runs and the most fantastic fluffy stuff in between, there must be 5 cm base on the main street in St Anton

a lot warmer today, pistes very soft and even a bit slushy back to resort, snow now melting on the roads to slush. It has been blue sky with sporadic very low clouds (at Galzig-Gampon) and it has been trying to snow.

Die Schneefallgrenze schwankt dabei immer wieder zwischen 2000m und dem Tal herunten
Yes the freeze level has temporary gone to 2000M.
However, its changing again (freezing level dropping) . Its going to start snowing again Saturday & will be getting much colder next week

I think we can expect another 40-50cm out of the next storm

Whitegold, Val d'isere had around 50cms earlier this week, reduced to 25cm with a day by the high altitude winds  - so mid-altitude Lech should hold it's snow better.

A man was killed in an avalanche here in Lech yesterday. At 15.45 he skied into a closed touring route going from the Kriegerhorn down to Steinmähder. He wasn't wearing a transponder. My son's ski teacher took part in the search, which went on for over an hour. They were stamping around in thigh deep powder in almost total darkness in the end! The dogs found him, but after an hour under the snow he was already dead.
I had been standing down at Steinmäder earlier on in the day watching people ski into that slope, and also watching the ski patrol catch the people at the bottom and send them back up the piste on foot! Crazy. There was so much skiable terrain here, why do they have to ski slopes that are closed for avalanche danger? Simply Crazy!

Seeing the huge drifts and overhangs from the lifts which you would not see from the ground warrant serious respect to the mountains. Sad for the guys family

Stanton... quick question about the area. A group of us may be coming in around March 15th next year. Don't want to stay in St. Anton, but wouldn't mind a day or so out there. Don't want high-price luxury accommodation, just simple, clean and with a bit of room (ideally a big Ferienhaus or something for 10 would suit, but they're hard to find...)
If we stay out of St. Anton is there a satellite village that's relatively convenient for getting into the ski area with either a ski bus or car (if we hire one or two)? LAndeck has been mentioned but I think it might be too far out to be truly convenient...?

I just checked a UK based company and they have chalets on your dates http://www.stantonchalets.co.uk/ .
The 15th is the pre-easter week however as long as your booking 1 week or 2 I dont think there will be a problem finding somewhere. Goodluck
Landeck is quite away from St Anton. (20min train)
Satelite villages (west) which run into each other. Nasserein,St Jakob,Gand
Further away . Pettneu,Schann,Flirsch,Strengen

You could check out Stüben - quiet, but nice outlier linking into the main St.Anton ski area, and has good bus access to Luch/Zurs areas

Thanks Stanton... however, nearly £700 per person per week is, in my book, earth shatteringly expensive...! We were after self catering or, at best, B&B... Don't want to have to remortgage!
Will check out some of the other villages you mention.
