gortonator,
Lech is for the blue piste pussys 
St Anton has always been hard & fast its just we have atteacted a lot more incompetent
skiers out of their depth choosing the wrong ski area.....
Folks
Because of the rain the Town cleared out early yesterday. Many Germans & Dutch
took off home .
Empty slopes today & this week will be quiet.
Some dandruff up on Rendl this morning.

I'm baffled by this latest turn of discussion, but all I know is, when there's pow in Lech/Zuers (not this week unfortunately), I can ski it all day, fresh lines, and not venture far from pistes/ski routes. Posh people don't ski pow. In St Anton, hucksters and muppets mop up pow US-resort style, gone in 2 hours.
Today was pretty average BTW - the great glue maker in the sky came out about 2pm in Lech and made everything very slow. At least the vis improved - I hung out on Steinmadler until 3.30 by when I needed beer. Was skiing pistes today as everything off was trashed - even north facing at Lech and Warth.

Plenty of powder around Lech and Zurs, often long after a storm, if you know where to look.

Does anyone have experience of the Zurs ski school? Or some recommended good kids instructors in the area? Over w/c 5th April and looking for a ski school for our kids! Will be staying in Stuben, so was considering trying a Zurs or Lech ski school as we haven't been that impressed with the Stuben ski school in past years.
regards,
Greg

Bus straight back to Zurs for some turns on the Trittkopfkar.
Been some dust on Stuben North Face so put in a line down there..
Folks.
This week is going to very warm again,may get some Brief relief on Wednesday

Long range forecast seems to indicate possible storms next weekend... but that's been the story of the season, always a week away

It's cool I have my spies in the field sniffing out powder stashes for my arrival on Friday!
Big issue I saw on the Weekend was a lot of full layer slides completely clearing out the south faces, that's the end of them for the season I think

dulcamara,
They were controlled slides. The ones on Schindkerkar were controlled also but during
Skitime 16.00hrs which is unusual..

Not just the south facing slopes either, was up Kapall earlier and noticed a full layer slide on the opposite side of the Mattun bowl (where the itinerary comes in from Valluga).
stanton, what day did they slide Schindler? I know over the weekend some of the higher lifts closed due to wind, so maybe they sorted it then?
Cinditions are what you'd expect given the weather. I've been unable to go out in the mornings this past week due to work, but the afternoon's are the standard slush fest, although Rendl much better, as are Stuben and Zürs from what friends have said. Forgotten how much fun boarding in the slush can be, especially as there weren't too many people on the slopes, either sunning themselves on terraces or just not in resort

Isn't most of Rendl SW facing? I'd have thought that would be pretty slushy too?
(EDIT not meaning to contradict you, I'm sure you're right, just curious as to why  )

Folks.
It is not Unsual i.e quite normal for controlled slides on the South facing slopes
especially at this time of sesson. Thats why they have had gazex installed for over 15yrs.
It is nothing to worry about.
Only thing you have to realise outside the controlled ski area this
Is what happens all over the place

Rendl is primarily North North West facing. The slopes do not get affected by the sun as much as the sunny side Gampen etc.
Rendl also does not get as much snow as the Western Flank (UlmerHutte,Stuben Zurs) so it
goes to show how well the snow us preseved on Rendl..
It is the locals hill, few pistes but huge access to off piste.
Folks
Another very warm day & will stay this way (yesterday +15C on top Galzig) untl
at least Saturday.
Next week from Sunday finally a cold front coming in . Drop in temps & snow..

It really isn't.
The off piste from the top of Gampen is north facing (N face and Schimmeleck), routes off the "back" (Hinterrendl and Voderrendl etc) are NE, and the valley piste is mainly on the north side but everything else (i.e. the lifts, the pistes and ski routes and punter accessible off piste) is pretty much bang on West facing. Just look on Google maps.
I agree it's a good place, I've often found it in better condition than elsewhere, I guess that the slopes stay good because they are shaded all morning and are fairly high up. Rossfall might be a different matter, that gets a lot of sun, anyone skied that recently?

Bergfex still reckons 55cm at altitude on Sunday... I'm only writing that so I can come back tomorrow and check what it was, it's be saying 2cm by the time we get to Saturday.

The farmers are already preparing their fields in St Jakob that is unheard
of in previous seasons.
We can expect some snow higher up next week.
Locasl think the big snow will come when they have shut up biz & on vacation
in Mexico.
Folks it was raining in the valley this morning you could reallt smell that
Farmyard air. No new on hill.
Sun is breaking out for the rsst of the day.

sah, was on Rossfall with guide just after lunch Monday, very nice but a large slide up by the dam so Rossfall (same aspect and much higher) is not recommended above the side step, stay low on entry and ski down across to Maas. Some snow was very sketchy, other areas almost Firn, but not much Firn about anywhere, most snow after lunch has no structure and is just sliding away, very unstable. Been sunny and super warm since so I'd be very wary out there right now........great weather for drinking beer though!

Markymark29, sorry to hear about the ankle, sounds like an epic descent.
I'm not relying on Bergfex, so I'm heading to Sud Tirol next week. Same warm temps but they have a massive base... and there's no shortage of pistes in the Dolomites:-)
Back to the Arlberg with a vengance next season

sah, good plan......and yes hope to catch up here next season, locals jetting roads down in town and planting flowers, just seen a guy buying a bag of compost and a load of spring flowers, town full of boarders on skate- boards!! Sun's just come out, off down Rosanna for a hobble before RICE again later!

Sprained or fractured ankle Had both in Colorado. Thei boot acted likw a plastercast.
Getting the boot on was painful but end of the day make sure you had plenty of beer because
Removing the boot would normally require a dose of morphine!
If your flying home make sure you take plenty of Asprin before the flight.

This morning there has been a small lanslide on the piste down . The Piste boys have part of the hill roped
off . I think more will come down as it doe not look that safe.

12z GFS brings back decent snow Sunday into Monday and more seasonal temps....
I'm hoping at least the higher pistes will hold up until were are out w/c 5th April....

Dashed, was that taken in the Arlberg?
GFS still keeping cooler temps and good snowfall from Sunday onwards.

| Now, that spring has officially started, the spring-like weather will depart. Tomorrow Friday promises bright sunshine. The beautiful weather will be accompanied by a foehny south-westerly wind. These conditions are particularly forecast for Saturday, despite that harmless clouds will interfere with the weather. They signal the extensions of a cold front, which will mark the end of the foehn wind on Saturday night. A low-pressure area located over Italy will develop, and result in a longer period of winter weather from Sunday on. The snow line will sink to a level of 1000 meters on Sunday. Wet and cold late winter weather is forecast starting next week. |
