 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Just checking in to report some good snow conditions on the Tux glacier last weekend.
Ski Club website reports : 'Dachstein Glacier (0/200cms) and Hintertux (0/90cms) are still offering some moderate skiing and boarding, on mainly heavy and slushy pistes'- Snowhead on the ground reports nearly a foot of fresh snow at the top.
I can vouch that the Atomic SL 11's are great on boiler plate (Fri, Sat) but also good in powder(Sun).
BTW - Did I mention the foot of fresh snow on the glacier? -pics to follow

Ray Zorro, I recall skiing six or seven pistes - as an estimate, I would say 7-8km.

Thanks for that Kit. We may only go up a couple of days, so that will be fine. I would be interested in any pics that you get online.
BTW, the "down a crevasse" under your name means that admin no longer has a current email address for you and that you may soon find that you can't access this site.

Kit Wong, is there any specific reason why you must make me jealous?

Pics as promised:
Here's a one from the bottom of the top station, at 2650m, looking down the valley before the snow came; this one is at the top, approx 3200m(more like 10" of fresh rather than a foot - it was cold); and this is somewhere in between.
mark_s, if it makes you feel any better, that trip closed my ski season.

Thanks for photos, Kit.
We got back on Tuesday night and did a couple of days on the glacier while we were in the area over the weekend. It began snowing on Sunday and was still snowing when we left so conditions would have been great for anyone there yesterday or today as the forecast was for sun. We had a clear day with worn snow and a snowing day (similar to one of your pictures) with fresh powder.
There were only pistes 4, 8 and 9 open, which was a blue and 2 reds. Was the area over the back open when you were there?
