Can somebody in StA provide an update of what the conditions are like now; we arrive on Thurs for a few weeks skiing.
Looking at the "Runs Open", it suggests that anything below mid-mountain at StA is dicey or even closed. What is the upper mountain like? What about Lech & Zurs?

Skiing TOP to BOTTOM in St Anton , Lech & Zurs.
Only a few lowere runs are closed in the valley, whcih a frequently cllosed in spring. Nothing to worry about.
More snow is coming this week

Skied Rendl with H-Man (Hannes) in St Anton a couple of years back. Really nice guy, glad his brother got out OK.

We were on Rendl that morning when the/a helicopter dropped in to collect a rescue dog from just below the restaurant. Very frightening and sobering to read Hannes' account of the incident.

Gosh, having watched our friends' DVD in the chalet after they'd been to Henry's Avalanche Talk in Val last week, reading H-Man's report was quite something. Thank Heavens his brother got out alive.

EZ ALL, the resort is receiving about 5-10 cm every couple of days and when we left today saturday it was clouding over andso i would expect more snow over the weekend. the resort is fast skiing with some small dustings of powder on the pistes,
off piste is still a little disappointing and lots of ski routes start of ok but end up muddy or rocky. saying that if you are good enough it is well worth going off the north facve of the valluga with a guide as there is about 50cm + of powder and some "champagne powder"
Definately fun to be had though all round, we prefered the skiing on rendl and in teh lech yurs system but it's all good
ps ... did the north face of teh valluga baby, and fu..K that gully is scary

The north face valluga.. did you walk down the steps or ski direct from the top? I've done both, the ski from top def the better option, but i guess it depends on snow conditions.

straight from the top! woot! the powder afterwards is glorious!

Peter Ross,
I have seen it , alot of fun especially the climb up side of Valluga T Bar. (not sure if they still do that). Never entered, i got brains & do not need the money |
Looking at the photos they do that climb, I suppose it's a good way of separating people, again looking at the photos the obstacles on the course look difficult.

Hi All,
I have a quick question for those that know St Anton well!
I have been a few of times but only in Jan. Thinking of coming back out this season at the end of March before the busy easter period and was wondering if anyone could let me know what the snow is like on the lower runs at this time, are most still open? I guess the cannons can provide cover to allow you to ski down to the town. Also, what are Lech/Zurs like at that time, are most runs generally open (We have some friends keen to ski there as well as St A).
Sorry if this sounds like a weird question but I have only tended to go very high for late March/April but am really keen to get back out to St Anton again this year.
Cheers.
Nick

I've skied st anton until season closed a few years back - late april. There was soo much snow there on the last day you would not beleive. Honest - from 4 april through to 24ish is snowed a bit everyday. I remember very clearly in late april skiing knee deep powder on piste in albona. For sure this season so fat the snow depths are bit down but there could still be great late season conditions. The lower runs will no doubt be a tad slushy. Go on, book it.

NJClark, welcome to Snowheads! I always ski in St Anton until mid/late April. The conditions on a particular day / week obviously vary according to the weather but usually there is skiing back into resort, even if very slushy. On some weeks you can ski reasonable pistes even to 4pm but usually they turn poor early afternoon.
There is normally a dump or two of fresh at the end of the season, enabling excellent skiing off-piste under blue skies some time in April.
l've only been skiing here for 8 seasons though. Stanton will probably provide better info. Particularly this year with the poor snow base ....

Thanks for info folks, this is agreat forum, really helpful. I think I will go for St Anton, despite the current lower than average snow depth! I have found quite a good deal for the March 24th week, just before the Easter peak so hopefully will not be too busy. I am bringing some friends who have only ever skied in France and they would love St Anton. We are quite keen to explore Lech/Zurs as well as I have not really spent much time over there when I have been before. I quite like skiing the spring slush, we're pretty used to this as we normally go late March/April each year for two weeks or so as the other half is restricted to either Dec/Early Jan or Easter as she works at a university. So, here's hoping for more snow in Arlberg!
Cheers.

NJClark, When I was over there at New Year there was a slushy day or two, it's makes moguls so much easier  . I hope to be back for Easter.

| stanton, Lech & Zurs are normally better than St Anton because the majority of the slopes are South Facing slopes. |
To clarify for those that don't know and may misinterpret stanton, it's St Anton that has many south facing slopes so are more prone to sun than Lech and Zurs slopes. However isn't it true that Rendl, down to St Christoph and Stuben get less sun?
