How are things looking? We head out on the 19th and hope the storms clear by then. As things stand we could be in for a good week. Ta!

Things are excellent. Pistes are exceptionally pistey.
I'd imagine they'll be perfect when you arrive.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mostly shut yesterday due to heavy snow. Only gondolas out of village open but no higher. As of 10:30am Monday all lifts are closed and no news when they will open. Given the conditions in the area over the last 36hours I suspect they won’t open today or if they do it will only be gondolas up to first station, although that will still provide a great deal of skiing. I have a photo of me ON piste by the piste markers from Sunday afternoon with snow mid thigh!

Oh come on. It's the only place I've seen a shop selling diamante encrusted skis, and some of the newer hotels and restaurants are a little...style over substance.
On the other hand you can turn two corners from the main street and walk past a shed full of lowing cows.

Ones where you don't have to wait in 40 minutes queues to get up the mountain in the morning |
Then they should try Ischgl. Other than day 1 the very first time I went to Ischgl, when we hit the Silvrettabahn at rush hour and had a 10min shuffle to get on a gondola I don't think we've ever queued more than 3-5min to get on one (c. 10 trips, across Jan and March though never tried half term - but as Ischgl's not a massive family resort guessing not much different to rest of peak season).

Hi,
Heading to Ischgl on Saturday, skiing Sunday - Wednesday. Any update on conditions?

You know it makes sense.

Currently excellent on piste. Today was the first time that the snow seemed slushy/heavy lower down on the sunnier pistes, but by no means poor. Only really noticeable due to overall good quality. A few runs down from Greitspitze - the black 14's have been closed from midday. Think due to avalanche danger.
Still blue skies and full sun. What more could you want

FAQ
Would the same also apply to Val D'Isere for example?
