 Poster: A snowHead

romeowner, definitely impressive, and it's made the higher skiing abuve Pass Thurn much more accessible and improved the skiing enormously (although the Zweitausender doesn't help).

richmond, I'm fine with their being an old double on Zweitausender. It is more of an advanced area with some cool off piste terrain (the bowl that takes a traverse to get to at the top of the chair, the tree skiing to the left of the chair, the huge bowl under the bottom of the chair, etc) that doesn't get skied often because it is a less demanded chair and it brings some oldness back into the area, which I like to see instead of only modern lifts.

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

Remarkable! The 14 year old is an old fart in disguise.

richmond, we didn't make it as far as Pass Thurn as we had our little one in creche and didn't want to risk being late back, instead we took route 24 down to Jochberg which was pretty impressive although a little sketchy at the bottom now but still worth it, then a short taxi ride to the base of the two man had some lunch then then made our way to the 3s and back over Pengelstien all in all very good, bit gutted we didn't make Pass Thurn we heard it was in great shape...

Yes, but it makes getting over to the (non advanced area) skiing above Pass Thurn a pain (although less of a pain than it was before the 3S bahn). Perhaps what's needed is an extra chair feeding into the Pass Thurn skiing at a different point, and keep the Zweitausender as well.

ccl, I prefer a bit of the old stuff.
One of my favorite mountains is a small hill, Catamount, located on the border of NY and MA, which is serviced by a bunch of slow doubles and one triple and quad. With the low capacity, you'll find fewer people coming down the mountain on Christmas then the people skiing down all the trails that end in "bear" at Stratton (which is A LOT of people, on 3 or 4 runs?) or on the Deer Run at Mount Snow (wow, never seen so many people on a trail at once).
And plus, when you have slower chairs, that means lower capacity = less skiers skiing down = less people having skied the off piste = MORE POW! While the mountain was mostly tracked out, I was finding NEARLY fresh lines at the top of Zweitsaunder just beside the piste due to people not wanting to ski the old chair and the low capacity.

You may be a mean skier, but you're just a softie at heart

I was in Kitzbuhel in January and what a difference 7 years can make, I thought I knew more about this resort than I actually did! I didn't get to Pass Thurn but I did get above Jochberg and found a desert of snow whilst on a chairlift, beautiful!
