Cafu, As intermediates you'll be fine at Sport Gastein. The pistes are nice and wide so great for carving. The terrain rolls nicely so you get some great speed down the steep bits. You'll love it.

Yep. Agreed entirely. Will post some pics soon.

Just back from a fantastic ski trip from Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis (Tyrol). Beautiful sunny days, very good snow, perfect pistes. Pictures will be posted later.

Fingers crossed

Looks like a fantastic place!

Markus, thanks for the link, they're some fab pics! It's moving up my 'to go to' list. Looks like there's more above the treeline skiing than I had thought, but it looks like an extensive area.
I keep forgetting to look at that site, which is probably a good thing as I don't have time for another forum!

Deliaskis, It's probably at the top of my go to list in Austria, but unfortunately I dont think we'll make it next year as its harder to find really cheap accommodation there than other places in Austria.
Anyone got any info on how its holding up in the lower resorts of Austria such as the SkiWelt, Kitzbuhel etc. ?

Markus, I did notice the seriousness of the reports, and lots of people with as much of an interest in the lifts as the skiing!
Good reports though with lots of detail  , but I think it would be a full time job to read them all...

Hiya,
I'm heading to Kitzbuhel on the 9th of Feb and at the moment I'm not sure what the conditions are going to be like ( only 10cm on the lower slopes according to the website). Theres meant to be some more snow next week but I'm not sure how much.
Last year I was in Garmisch and the snow was terrible so I was really hoping this year would be better  Has anyone been to kitzbuhel recently or going next week? What are the slopes like?

Snowed again yesterday in Austria, especially in the middle and the southern parts. Ski amade had 20-30cm fresh snow, the areas close to the Italian and Slovenian border got even more. Some mountain roads were closed due to heavy snowfall.

kerekip, Skied Zauchansee yesterday and today. Bluebird day with 30cms of light powder. Fantastic day, kept off piste away from the crowds.

just to follow up on Kerekip..had a cheeky weekend in Kitzbuhl, Saturday was ok to poor visibiility but snowing quite hard all day. Sunday was just fantastic, beatiful blue skies, sunny and warm and lots of fresh stuff to play in. Pretty busy in the main parts of the resort with the Germans having come down from Munich, but still good fun especially once you got to the outer regions of the resort.
Actually I'm going to add that on reflection I think that Sunday was probably one of the 5 best days on the piste I've ever had, crowds not-withstanding...

I'm going to Mayrhofen for a week on Saturday, starting to get the snow anxiety "What if there is no snow?" "What if it all melts?"
Please please let there be good snow. I don't care if it rains all summer as long as my ski holiday is accompanied by lots of lovely fluffy snow!

The Italian Alps had a huge dump in the past days. The Austrian Nassfeld right on the Austrian/Italian border had 50cm fresh snow in two days.

The people who returned from our apartment in Bad Gastein on Friday reported some of the best on piste conditions they've ever had! Sounds good if anyone's heading that way.

Just back from Radstadt and the piste conditions there, and in the local resorts, were some of the best I have ever experienced.

boredsurfin, Some harsh perspective from Espace Killy the week before. I think for an enthuisiastic leisure skier like me, that the area we have been to was perfect. A bit of faffing about on the buses, but an all round great experience.

AxsMan, Never really got the moris - too expensive for me to get drunk in so as to take the constant smell of pee away.
Frosty the Snowman, Sorry I never met up for a ski in the end, Sunday in Zauchansee was a fantastic powder day - but I was shattered by 2:30 and quit for the day. Our son was a bit sick again overnight sun/mon night so didn't make it out mon. Glad you like the area, there is endless skiing around, though car is ideal to really explore. Off now to email your host about his little head scan.

Can someone explain these charts please. What's the P0 to P20 down the left side of the first chart? How do they equate to all those lines? How can I find a chart for a particular resort? etc etc
Sorry for asking, they're both a mystery at the moment.
Thanks

Hi guys, been lurking from downunder for a while. We're heading to Austria on 2.3.08 for around 10 days following a work trip in Sweden. However, I think I carry the 'high pressure curse'! Spent 2 weeks in Utah/Wyoming last January and we only got 1 day of freshies. Of course it's puking there this season. Now, looks like a similar drought for Austria this year!!! Can't believe it. I can see sun nearly every b..... day here so I don't want it when I come to Europe! Rant over.
Many thanks for the updates 'on the ground' - not easy to get first hand reports from over here. Fingers crossed for a snowy March.
