 Poster: A snowHead

@Grizzler, the weather looks great next week!lots of sun, a wee bit warm but there is just SO much snow! Make sure you visit the Moosalm and Holzwurm( both have proper home made food)and if you want to go a bit fancy, the Hotel Happy Filzmoos in the center of town have some of the best food in the area, not tomention a killer Gin menu 
Yesterday, Thursday, was a dream. Beautiful knee deep powder, so light and fluffy. Scarpa, Waynos and me did a big hike up a bowl at the back of Zauchensee and found it was completely untracked, serious amount of whooping on the descent. Today I went up expecting more of the same but the temps are just that bit warmer and I have to say I found it very tiring out there, left the boys to it and if any of you are on FB, there are some pretty funny photos doing the rounds  There is just so much snow about at the moment, I definitely think we will be skiing in june like we did a few seasons ago!

Thanks @Kooky.
Lovely 1st day today, though so hot and sunny we all gave up pretty early. Choppy fast spring snow turned suddenly to grabby, turned to slow turned to no forward progress possible by 2pm - but had lots of fun until then  and then, well, you know, just had to relax in the sun with a few beers.
May be small, but enough to have a good day around the various lifts and areas (and repeat x 5 more, we hope).

@Grizzler, you might be interested to know that there is a ski bus that goes from Filzmoos to Flachau and Flachauwinkl on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Not sure of the exact timings but you can get details at the tourist office if you fancy a change of scenery.

@bobbev999, thanks, yes, found out about that. 9.15 out (which on the late season main skibus timetable is now way before the 1st ski bus down!), 4 something back. Only 1 each way, so can't miss it!

Can't remember who asked but I got a Mobile Internet from TCOM Trattner in Radstadt. €70 for the Hotspot Device and then on PAYG it is €28 for a 28 day period for unlimited Broadband over Mobile and only pay when you need it.

@panaga52, it was me. I got the A1 net cube for €70 and it's PAYG at €27 for 1 month unlimited data. I had to go to Radstadt to register the SIM and the nice man in the TCOM shop activated it for me. Much the same as you have got.

Despite a day and another morning of light to moderate snow, it's melting off fast at the lower slopes. I've watched the grass appear over the few days I've been here. Even seen a full depth (of field covering) horizontal slab break off on the 'black' run today. Cooler than Sunday, but still heavy slushy spring conditions (though hardpack 1st thing) and hills empty by 2.30pm. Meant to be getting sunnier and warmer again now, too.

@Grizzler, that 'black' run has been closed since January. There was a slab avalanche on it which was pretty much irreparable.

@queenie pretty please, yes, I gathered that it wasn't open; clearly it likes to slab slide as it did it again today (though not much on it to go or cause a problem for those on pistes below). Some people had been putting tracks down it over the last few days, so I don't know if it was retriggered.
Wish that I'd taken a photo: just looked so odd with this big patch of green and a perfectly horizontal shear line. Great example for the technical books.

ta @kooky and @scarpa for great ski company for a some fantastic powder sessions at zauch. 4 full on pow days with a spring weekend in the middle. Enough pounding powder to assign my 9 season old ski boots to the dustbin. Next trip (not far away) hopefully the @flangesaxes will be able to join us.

Some great morning skiing Schladming end at the moment, gets a bit slushy after 1pm but it's still great fun to blast through.

Never known coverage this good this time of year.

So a new thread for 2019-20 is somewhat premature. But I am pleased to report that it is snowing up at Dachstein and it's cold and drizzly in the valley. Winter is on its way!

I think timberwolf should start it, he puts in excellent holiday hours and probably follows the webcams more than us! Ange.

So jealous of those that can just 'lookout of the window' 
I bought a Salzburg super pass the other day as am skiing wider than just ski amade this season. Will be good to spread my wings, but does make it more expensive!
First hol is week before Xmas in Schladming with my 18yo.
Cheers
Kev
