It won't even include sledging sober at 5mph. |
That's actually a very good point!
EDIT: wintersports add-on package actually does include tobogganing.

@clarky999, this last sunday it was: chains obligatory for all vehicles (no exceptions) on B197 between St.Christoph and St.Jacob.
So for all of St.Anton, chains were obligatory, also coming from Landeck, or from the tunnel.

@Langerzug, been going to St.Anton since 1985. Never seen that before. What on earth would you need chains between St. Jakob and St.Anton for?

@ArlbergMeister, I think it maybe a bit clearer on Friday/Saturday. I would take the train ..

@stanton, Thanks! And what about getting out on Sunday (if train is taken)? Not that I would mind being stuck in the Arlberg for a few days, but my employer might...

TO be fair in the 80 & early 90 they never cleared the streets in St Jakob & beyond like they do now..& chains were needed in some places down there.

Yep, its the annual outing with the outcasts from Wazza Smith; but we've never been to St Anton before.
Should be in resort on the Saturday afternoon so may get out for a couple of hours. We've a warm up on sunday, then intersperse days on our own and days with a guide.
Lazy fat boy touring.
Who are you out with?

Code Red is a bit of an overreaction, for what is a regular puke in west US or north Japan.
But Lech defo living up to its rep as the snow capital of Western Europe.

To put it into perspective...
Jackson Hole's snowiest ever MONTH was 571cm in Dec 1996, at the TOP of the mountain.
Mt Baker's highest MONTHLY snowfall in the last 13 years was Dec 2012 with 637cm.
Whistler currently boasting it's snowiest ever December with 382cm over the MONTH.
Nordkette got that in 3 days, at mid mountain.
With another 130cm on the way in the next three days.
Japan may be a different matter. But their mountains aren't as steep, so less infrastructure is threatened by avalanches.

Once you take last (between 18-18:30hrs) free skibus back to Pettneu your there for the evening..
Only a Taxi back to St Anton ..or walk which takes about 1hr 15min |
Thanks. I only really need to get there after skibus times for 1 night, when I arrive around 8pm. Any idea how much I might be looking to pay for a taxi?

Yup, night busses are €5. Last free ski bus is 18:00, then there are 2 Postbus options (one just after 18:30, the other €19:30, cost €2.90), and then the night busses through until 3:30.

I see Lech is cut off again due to road closures due to avalanche risk.

Access to Warth seems blocked too, the ÖATMC is reporting the road closed at Steeg and access to Schröcken not possible either.
