Yeh, only 6 days to go. I'm hoping for snow all this week (currently forecast) with some sunshine next week. Although it says rain in the resort on Saturday
Any snowheads in Mayrhofen next week (26th Feb)?

hayley t, the snow gods love you! Looking into the Austrian weather forecast for this week I see snow, snow, more snow and on the weekend... heavier snow. Your only problem may be getting there, or getting back again. The bit in between is gonna be fun!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I saw. Looks good but have you seen the temperatures! I might have to buy some thermals! The BBC is forecasting fairly good weather for Innsbruck on Saturday so hopefully the flight will be ok. I'll walk to the resort if I have to! Fortunately the advantage of a low resort is that the transfers are much easier in bad weather.

Transfer to Mayrhofen definitely won't be a problem. I was only joking. The Austians don't seem to think the temperatures will be all that low. Only between -5 and +5 as far as I can see. Perfect in fact. Have a good one.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks Mike, I'll leave the thermals for now!

Not in Mayrhofen but off to Ellmau on the 5th March Don't want to "count my chickens" but feeling positive, albeit a little apprehensive about transfer to resort !

Type23, why are you apprehensive about the transfer? Where are you flying to? Ellmau is very well connected and similarly to Mayrhofen, the snow situation would have to be really unbelievable for the place to get cut off from the outside world.

Type23, like I said, getting to Ellmau almost certainly won't be a problem. Landing in Innsbruck, now that's a different matter...

Fog seems to be the big issue at Innsbruck.
When we left Austria a couple of weeks ago all flights were delayed due to fog.
No incoming flights could land.

Mike Lawrie, stop it! I hate the descent into Innsbruck, you can almost touch the mountains!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

hayley t, the pilots are getting the hang of landing in Innsbruck now. Besides, if it's foggy or snowing then you can't see the mountains at all so based on the principle that what I can't see can't hurt me you should have nothing to worry about

Mike Lawrie, thank you so much!

You know it makes sense.

hayley t, the ORF has changed it's mind. Weather forecast for Sunday is snow (that makes a change) and -19C at 2000m. The following days are also described as 'icy cold'. Better get those thermals packed!

Thanks for the warning Mike, at least we won't have freeze-thaw conditions for a change. Snow-forecast had very low temperatures but they tend to go to the extreme case. Now I have a second opinion I'm off to buy the thermals. I've never needed them before at this time of year.

hayley t, I didn't see tthis thread - see my other new posting on Mayrhofen. I'm using an internet cafe at the foot of the Kaltenbach gondola - my second visit of the week to Kaltenbach, and my last ski day
Bye
