waynos, Excellent, thanks. Have a great time! Quick question for you. We were going to leave finding accommodation until we arrived, do you think we'd be safe enough this time of year?

Should be fine leaving it late, for this trip we've used http://schladming-appartment.at/english_index.html who seem very professional.

Looking at the list only Sport gastein will have some lifts open.
I haven't heard any which will be fully operational . In our area the gondola and chair are going to open next weekend, and the ski area behind us will have 3 lifts open, They are also open this weekend. But i don't think all the lifts will be open until the start of the season proper on the 30th November.
Hope that helps.

djfletcher, Hi, Just looking at your webcam again and now it is dark outside there seems to be a reflection of the inside of your house . I can see you walking around etc. inside. i think its only there when you have the lights on in the room where the camera is. Its a great webcam and i am thinking of setting one up in Zell am See.

Thanks for the info. It looks great. I'm currently basking in the Arizona sun so all this looks very appealing. I'll be there in 3 weeks so I hope all the snow doesn't melt.
Did anybody ski Austria this weekend?

Hi,
I went sking in Austria this weekend.
The last few days have seen temp below freezing all day and down to -7oC at night. The day temp are about -2oC. Went skiing for the first time with my boys to Flachau ( unfortunately my wife can't ski because she is pregnant!!). The conditions were perfect. There was only one lift open in our resort, but next week -end there willl be 6 lifts open so we will ski here then.
My only worry is the warm weather forecast for the middle of this week!!, but then it is meant to get colder again form Sunday onwards. Hopefully it be as warm as they think. The air is very cold here at the moment.
Here is the snow depth:-
altitude Valley Middle Summit
above sealevel 920 m 1500 m 1921 m
Snowdepth Trail 80 cm 110 cm 150 cm
Snowdepth Terrain 80 cm 110 cm 150 cm
Last snowfall 16.11.2007
Slope Condition bare

What do the weather experts think the likely hood of rains is in the Tirol/Salzburg region from Thursday to Monday?
Methcheck and weather.co.uk are saying the temps are rising and there may be rain.

Looks better now dingdong, Tirol to miss the rain but then get some more snow over the weekend - take a look at snow-forecast.com which is free access today and tomorrow as they've had IT issues, that's forecasting minimal rain then another foot of snow for Soll.

Temperature inversions have occured in many Austrian places.
For example, the city of Salzburg is below zero, but in the mountains nearby it is +6C and sunny.
Do not worry, 1,5-2m deep snow does not melt that quickly.
A little bit of melting does some good. It creates a good base before the snow falls predicted for the week-end and next week.

dingdong, it will be mosty sunny, no real chance for heavy rain.
The snow line at the moment is quite high, about at 3000m. By Friday it goes down to 1200m in Tyrol and Vorarlberg, and 1600-2100m elsewhere.
