 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Ok I know it's a bit of a dodgy question and snow and overhead conditions will be what they will be but IN GENERAL what might conditions be like in st anton in mid January. I have been there once before in middle of march and quite frankly the slushy moguls on the gampen side got quite annoying quite quickly, having said that I would take that over bullet proof hard pack anyday[/b]

It might be powder, it might be slush, it could be dry, it could be wet. It might even be green. In short, an impossible question to answer.

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

Quite likely to be powder / compressed powder rather than slush, but you never can tell.Generally, if there is no snow in St.Anton there is no snow anywhere in Austria.

ulmerhutte, Well I have been going to St.Anton since 1985... I've never experienced zero snow in Jan. It hasn't always been fantastic though, and one time I did a powder skiing course ( staying at the Ulmer Hütte) in Jan when there was only 50cm of snow in resort. Still found some powder though. But like I say, you never can tell.

Steilhang. Agree. I was a little flippant with the "green", but not that uncommon to have big open patches on the lower slopes, even in Feb.

Not saying its typical, but in the first week of Jan 2012 large chunks of the resort were closed and the connections to the outside world temporarily shut on transfer day due to "too much" snowfall

Yup, 2012 was an epic winter. Close to 5m on the Galzig during Feb. Valfagehr going up a "railway" cutting in places.

My main concern is to avoid bullet proof icy conditions but I guess you never can tell
