Poster: A snowHead
|
Out in Schladming, Austria next week. I'm on the hunt for powder. Forecast suggest weather coming in from the south west on Tuesday / Wednesday. A quick look at the forecast says Schladming and nearby resorts will probably not get much fresh snow, so looking a bit further afield. Have the Salzburg Superpass and the furthest south and west I can find covered is the Molltaler Glacier, http://www.bergfex.com/moelltalergletscher/. I'm assuming to get there would be up the Gastein valley and on the motor-train through the tunnel? Maybe a bit of a trek and not sure how much the tunnel would cost but could be an adventure. Anyone any experience skiing here? Recommend any guides for off piste? Looks to be mainly above tree line so a clear day would be in order. The other option would be sport gastein - though I'm guessing more protected from the incoming weather.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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

waynos, yep, train through the tunnel to Mallnitz-Obervellach. There's a ski bus to Molltal. And one to Ankogel which is nearer and has better terrain.

waynos, i've never done it (you know my off piste skills aren't up to it!) but with a guide, you can park in Gastein, take the train through to the south, up to Molltaler Glacier and then ski back to Sportgastein off the ridge. I see people doing it all the time when i'm up at Sportgastein. You'd need a guide though. If you're interested, I can look into a guide for you.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cheers guy. The idea of off piste from Molltaler back to Sport sounds interesting. I'll do some googling for a guide, though I wonder how low the route goes and what the snow cover is like.
