@Bennyboy1, Some of the lifts were running at the weekend. They'll be open again next weekend. Then they'll be open from the first weekend in December until April.

Looking like a cold week in the Zillertal, very excited for our weekend in Mayrhofen in a couple of weeks.

@jellemr, it’s looking very nice! So much better than last year.

@speachmaus, I am only going by the webcams. I am not back in the valley until new year. Looks good today though.

@Bennyboy1, OK thanks. I've never been before so don't know the names of the lifts or webcams yet. And I will have the Salzburg super pass which only covers zell am ziller side not Mayerhofen side.

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

@speachmaus, are you traveling around? Just wondering g why that pass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I have 16 to 23 Dec in zell am ziller then Soll from 3 Feb to 3 March then Radstadt 3 to 10 March. This December week is just a bonus to get the good if my season pass
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
I have a car in December so I can head to wherever the best conditions are but Mayerhofen and tux are not on the Salzburg super pass.

@Alastair Pink, I like the red 1 a lot. Always works up a thirst for beer
Brief warming forecast for mid week then back to cold and more snow possible (says Bergfex). Shaping up to be a very decent start to season.

This photo of me was taken at the TuxerFernerHaus on Saturday when the Freeheeler event and FIS World Cup Telemark races were happening. Fresh new snow, blue skies and a bit of old school ski attire.

20cm fresh snow at Hintertux, and currently quite cold so the snow is very light. Will be a good day.

I'm checking out the skiing at Finkenberg today (which is nice if you stay higher above the clouds lower down in the valley). Travelling home tomorrow.

@Alastair Pink, hope you had a good day. It was awesome this morning at Tux, even if the visibility was occasionally challenging. But you can’t complain at knee deep snow in early December (although for a couple of my off-Piste virgins it was sometimes deeper than head-high . Good work Team)

Sunny and warm in Hintertux. Well, -10 at the top which is quite an improvement from the start of the week. Will be a great day

As the taxi was going along the Zillertal valley I took this picture. You'll see that the snow is down to the valley floor. 😀

Another perfect day ahead of us in Hintertux, before the next snow rolls through. Blue sky, pleasantly cold, no wind, brilliant Piste conditions. Much like yesterday

Many thanks! I occasionally have an "old school" ski day wearing my tweeds (Norfolk Jacket and Plus Fours) and using a single alpenstock rather than skipoles.

Webcams are great, especially when you cant see much on them because of the falling snow!

Wild at the top of Hintertux today. Very high wind meant it was very difficult to see the terrain in front of you because of so much snow being moved around. Some piste sections were being quickly wind-scoured down to the icy base, with drifting snow in other places. It was also cold, and with wind chill very cold. Wore a facemask for the first time in my life as that seemed to be the only way to manage the conditions. The wind picked up as the day went on, so lifts began to close around midday. Even at the mid-station the wind was blowing over ski racks half filled with skis.
A very enjoyable day's skiing.
