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 :-)

The
Riedlalm
(above) is a mountain hut at the foot of the Birnhorn in the Leoganger Steinberge. After an enjoyable hike up to it last Friday, I was researching the Badhaus that we passed on the way there and came across a booklet online describing the history of Bad Leogang. Although it is about 90 pages in German, there are enough pictures of Leogang's skiing past and past skiers that I thought it worth posting the link here. There are, for example, photos of the first skilift in Leogang, 1952, a rope tow not on the Asitz where we ski now but at Gut Schrattenegg on the Leoganger Steinberge side of the valley. And, among the skiers, Herbert von Karajan (well, I have at times been a conductor too - but on the buses
). For those who can read German, there is even more of interest, e.g. a list of tours possible in 1927 (even over to Saalbach - described then as the "Skieldorado Salzburgs"; I'm not sure I could manage that without any lifts!).
