Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Wow! Looks amazing and only Oct/Nov.

We are there in December. Cannot wait.

How ahead of time to book train tickets? Now or closer to the time? (Munich to Kaltenbach)


In October I was diverted to Frankfurt from Munich. I'd booked return tickets Munchen Flughafen to Mayrhofen back in July, cost just shy 60 quid return.

Obviously missed train so when I was flown back to Munich had to get ticket on the fly so to speak, cost 54 quid one way.

You pays your money you takes your chance as the saying goes.

I had the misfortune of leading the work physical stock count yesterday which meant no skiing for me as I was in the office at 05:45, and it was gone 14:00 by the time I left Jenbach! We did actually head up to the Insider ski shop in Hintertux yesterday and for a dog walk



We did get to ski today though. We didn't rush up and it was pretty much 11:00 by the time we were at the very top for our first run. Beautiful weather, it's got a bit colder the last few days, particularly at night, and we've had a frost down in the valley most mornings.

They had opened the 2nd Kaserer t bar and blue 12 and 13 runs right the way down. Blue 12 was awful though. They'd clearly moved a load of snow over to make the run and then not pisted it, as it was all just chunks of varying sized pieces of ice. We only bothered skiing it once.

There's a FIS Freestyle Moguls event on there today and yesterday, but we didn't get the chance to watch any.

I saw on Tom Gellie's (Big picture skiing) instagram there's a "zipper line" created over by the Kaserer runs, and let's just say he made it look a lot easier than it is Laughing Laughing

I'll be up there again on Wednesday and Thursday as there's an IASI meet up there this week, and it looks like the forecast is showing it getting colder throughout the week and potentially some snow as well.

@Matrix, No, it's cold enough to start making snow.

Skiing at Hintertux today... Excellent conditions this morning and bit icy and scraped in the afternoon.

If you look at the Sommerberg webcam at Hintertux, you'll also see they've had the cannons running on the runs back down from Tuxerfernerhaus. Not sure when they started, but on Sunday there was patches of snow.

Lovely day up at Hintertux today. There's an IASI members and educators meet on this week with about 30 people up there so I took a couple of days off work to join in the fun.

Snow cannons running all day up there including most of the way down to Sommerberg. I also noticed them on the black run from Ahorn down in Mayrhofen first thing this morning.

Conditions are quite cold up there, so the pistes aren't getting any worse, and the cannons are helping to improve the base.

Some snow forecast tonight, but not sure how much will fall, but we'll see in the morning Very Happy

So, turned out to be a bit more snow than forecasts suggested (depending on which forecast you looked at!!)

Snow level was quite low, some on the ground by our house at 650m



A couple of inches at the bottom of the lift in Hintertux



Up on the slopes it was probably 10-20cm of snow. Made for some great skiing.





It was cold up there today, noticeably, but it's just what was needed!

Nice to ski the last couple of days with @SaraJ who has definitely improved my skiing snowHead

Also @ skimottaret who has been over for the IASI meet up too snowHead

Skied Saturday on the weekend but not Sunday because I had a fall and woke up with whiplash.

Conditions on Saturday were lovely



We did still go up to Hintertux on Sunday, and walked from the valley up to Sommerberg, and again a lovely day



You can see the snow cannons starting to lay down a base in the Rastkogel area of Mayrhofen.



Here you can see the piste down to Sommerberg that's been created.



And confirmation it'll be opening tomorrow.
