Snowing in St Anton still, but transfer day tomorrow so no chance to enjoy and a long day as there will inevitably be delays

Just got back from St Anton yesterday after being there for the week. Hadn't been before but wow what an amazing resort, I loved it! The snow was brilliant, great terrain, apres ski is brilliant, great atmosphere and also I found the prices of the food and drink to be cheaper than say Tignes on the whole.
Will definitely be going back.
What I'd like to ask having not been there before at all is that was last week's snow conditions about the same as it is usually in January or was it better than usual?

VolklAttivaS5, you do seem to have had a few trips already this season
I like St Anton too and have found conditions good every time I have been there, for example knee deep powder first week of Dec last season, perfect pistes in Jan/Feb too, and good conditions even in April especially if you move from Gampen to Galzig to Rendl from morning to afternoon

Good to know you have found good snow whenever you have been as well.

stevev, make sure you stop at the ice/champagne bar at the foot of the Kriegenhorn chair (even just to peek inside) and lunch in Oberlech or at the Rudalpe

I noticed the forecast was warming up in the week. I went to Lech today, did the weisserring, very busy on the ring, the alpine run into Zug was pretty cut up and 'interesting' especially in the crowds. Didn't like the area as much as St Anton, seemd pretty btoken up, quite a few flats on the ring.
St Anton was better, Ischgl even better.

Less People. Conditions are Excellent .
You can get an idea of British bookings this season just check next week and available spaces in these chalets (there are lot of other chalets).
Thats 305 Total Sleep Places. 158 Free Sleep places only around 48% occupancy.

The Hotels are NOT full following Week 14th even though its kids holidays in Germany,Holland & UK plus its Fasching

I usually find them fairly accurate, altohugh the temps are usually not so bad. We went to Lech a few weeks ago expecting -22 at the top, it was nowhere near so cold

I am 60mile from St anton, in Friedrichshafen, and it is very stormy here, high winds, lots of rain. Looks like some of that is coming down as snow in the mountains

Just got back from St Anton. Just a day trip. Weather was crap, the whole top of the area was fooged in, but the snow conditions were superb. So much new snow.... Even on piste there was deep snow.
We made the mistake of going down the ski route 33, it looked ok from the lift and loads were doing it. It was around 3-3ft deep in soft snow, great for off-pisters but far beyond my capabilities. How the hell do you turn in 2ft drifts!! it took us ages and tired us out for the rest of the afternoon. My mate struggled even more, poor thing.
Shame about the fog, but a great day nevertheless

stevev, I know what you mean about Route 33 off the top of Kapal-it looks very nice from the top of the lift there and potentially quite easy as it's not very steep but I think a lot of people end up going in there and find it hard going. I went for the first time whilst I was there in January, and it was fine, I hadn't been in any of the ski routes before but there were a fair few people stuggling and that was then before all the deep snow that has fallen lately. I thought it was quite long too until you end up coming out onto the piste at the bottom.
Good fun though as long as it's not too much for the person going in there.

stanton, snow report for Lech has gome from 70 to 185 in the village over the last week! How much actual skiing has been possible over that period - have the lifts been open? I see the roads are closed which must be a downer for anyone trying to get in!

Last Tuesday we had a MAJOR storm it cleared precisely at 23:40. Wednesday was Powder but to be honest you had to be on Rendl as everything was closed except Galzigbahn & Gampen but because of the holidays this was a nobrainer to even try to ski over there. Only problem was the temperature dropped to -15 to -20C
Took them a while to get Rendlbahn open (30mins late) but Have to say it was some of the deepest Powder I ever skied up on Rendl. No one seemed to take any notice of the Level 4/5 warnings & I even see the Avalanche Commissie warning some Ski Bums who were about to set off into RosFal .
All the lifts were open by Thursday, they even got managed to dig Stuben out & get those lifts working !!
Yesterday the weather turned again & it started snowing (another 20-30cms up high) & we expect snow everyday until next Wednesday!! All the lifts were open this morning.
Avalanche Risk is quite high there have been some avalanches in Hinter Rendl today.
