Looked at the St Anton webcams too. Can't wait to get back out there again, these 7 weeks are probably going to be painfully slow!

Looked out of my window this morning and saw a set of sets all the way down from the Galzig to the village, they went all the way down black osthang (ski route3) which is very rocky so that means there must be at least a couple of feet of snow up there...... way hey...

Forecast is for warmer weather and freezing level to rise significantly. Forecasts have been wrong in the past... But it is still October after all.

The danger is that the ground is not frozen at altitude so it creates very dangerous avalanche conditions.
If the overnight freezing level remains freezing above 2000M from now on it should create a great base. I expect the snow below 2000M to melt in the next week or two & hopefully end Of November the REAL snow will come.

Ahhh very nice. Remember my 2007 one very fondly, which I got free as a gift from the Montana in Oberlech for staying with them. You can understand my complete disappointment when staying there the following year and they presented us with a jar of (extremely nice admitedly) apricot jam

I'm not sure you can really read too much into October weather, the last couple of years it has been quite mild in October then the temperatures suddenly dropped in mid to late November giving great early season weather. The year before that it was colder in October then remained stubbornly warm for the next few months with very poor early season snow cover setting up a season that was tricky most places (although perhaps not that bad at altitude later in the season). After this year's early cold spell in October it now seems to be quite mild. This fits with the earlier long term forecasts - that autumn would be quite warm. Perhaps the key will be when and how far the temperature drops in the next month or so. Temperatures do look like they may be settling slightly lower in a week or so. Nice to see the World Cup season has kicked off at Solden though.

As long as it stays below freezing at night time from now on the ground will be good for November snow when they/if they come.
Rendl does not open until the week bfore Xmas. I cannot see a changing even with the new lift. It is just not economic with so few people who are in skiing before Xmas to open & also Rendl is much more rocky & receives the leaset snow when ever its snows in The Arlberg. For example if Galzig get 90cm Rendl might get 30cm (max).

FAQ
. I thought that upgrading the Rendl area was a bad idea in general. I loved the comparatively low "competition" there. Everybody seems to go to the Valluga area. I fear the new Rendl gondola will change things significantly this winter. I hear the Stuben area will get upgraded soon as well. This will have a negative impact as well 
.
