| @Langers, how easy is the bus to Ischgl? |
Presumably bus/train to Landeck then bus up to Ischgl. I don't think there's (normally!) a direct option.

@Langers, oh right, that's good, we're going with Crystal! Thanks, that's put my mind a bit at ease, I'd rather not have to organise stuff myself 
I'm so used to putting ski trips together myself, I'd forgotten the advantages of booking with a tour company!

Ski Total have not been so generous as Crystal. We have organised our own taxi to Ischgl at Euro 180 return for 6 of us. ST wanted €99 per person (Inc lift pass) for their Ischgl trip on Tuesday. Ischgl was very good apart from one of our party snapping their cruciate ligament. He is still in Ischgl being operated on. What with the lack of snow in St Anton and the accident this is not exactly our best ski trip ever!

for the people going across to Ischgl quick question, how busy is it on a scale of 1 to 10? From what ive read the snow conditions and skiing seem ok?

5-6 /10. St Anton and Lech is much bussier due to the lack of runs open.

Did ischgl get more snow? Or are they just making more? Are the micro-climates that string that ischgl would have more natural snowfall?

@Redwine, Ischgl has state of the art snow-making and most of the skiing is on a plateau high up above the village

Not great. Pretty much 1 split blue run open. A bit better snow than St Anton but not much better. Worth going to if you have booked to go to St Anton bit don't expect any favours with the busses. Either pay 7 EUR return or do the 3 bus shuffle.
Going back to Ischgl again tomorrow and then may try Stuben 17 on the way to lech on Friday.

Ischgl activley try and open as much as they can as early as possible, whereas St Anton has fixed dates no matter how good the snow is. Consequently Ischgl seem to start snowmaking and building pistes earlier - they were grooming pistes and bashing a base down after the October snow, which St Anton didn't. More slopes are also north facing.

Another StAnton report
More snow again today, not massive amounts but adding up and prob 30cms of fresh high up. From what I've seen pistes are much better and can ski back to underground bar no probs.
At altitude snow is excellent , skinned up to Schindlers last two days and found good powder.
Red 14 being marked out and bashed now so should open any day .(and more I assume )
Still v limited but hugely better than sun when I got here .
Ischgl is better , as said and not to crowded yet ! 45mins away on a bus.
With a bit of luck next week will not be a disaster

@TheManOnTheBus, natural snow down to town now, see the webcams. Pistes will be fine in St Anton, improving over next few days I'd guess, and looking much better Christmas Day on....

In Ischgl on slopes
Quiet enough and enough open
Could do with blue skies but that's just being picky in circumstances

@stanton, thanks for the lift update, am i right in thinking the corresponding runs will also get opened? Also which one is the Gampenlift II? is this the drag lift to the right of the exit of the Gampenbahn chair as you look at the map? thanks

Hi we are coming to lech Sunday for a week and are very worried about the skiing situation, we have four older teenagers who will be bored with no skiing. We are travelling with Ski Total, who are being very unhelpful this end. Are they being halepful to you? We would like to ski Ischgl but can't afford to pay 99euro each per day. Do you think we would be better to hire a car so we can drive ourselves there? Many thanks@FionaG,

I'll be skiing in Lech tomorrow so I'll try and post an update about conditions. It looks like a bit more terrain might have opened today.

@Ajn12345, it's snowing on the mountains now, it snowed last night, and it snowed the night before. I haven't been to Lech yet this season, btu conditions should be much better than the start of the week.

A hire car will certainly be cheaper
You won't be bored in Ischgl but you will have to commit to an hour each as every day since you won't then want a lift pass for St anton
Decide day before? See if things improve ( but looks really unlikely) Ischgl will he be busy next week so you will want to get to car park KS early < 9am certainly
