 Poster: A snowHead

We like to ski blues and so far have done all our skiing in Lofer and Waidring. next time going to spread our wings a little further and at the moment it is a toss up between Leogang or Maria Alm. Just looking for a few opinions. Thanks.

2waterford, Both are good options to be honest. Maria Alm has some super long blues, especially Blue 10 which goes from top to bottom. The reds are OK as well with some relatively easy ones you can move up on to when you found your feet again. Leogang is fun but the runs down from the middle station may be a bit much to begin with. The links cross into the Saalbach-Hinterglemm system are easy enough and that opens up a superb range of skiing but you have to keep an eye the time to make the links back to Leogang. I often use Leogang as my entry point to the S-H area, but to be honest, I love Maria Alm and the backdrop of the Hochkönig mountain range is just stunning.

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

Thank you Sue, it is only for one day. Might give Maria Alm a twirl, do you know the rubbers of the easy reds.

2waterford, I'll need to check my piste map but the "local" expert is CraigJ, who has a place in Hintermoos. Why not drop him a PM. He showed me around a couple of weeks ago, we had a really good day of it actually. Loved the Hochmaisalm so much I went back again last week

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you're happiest on blues, then I think Maria Alm (on the Aberg) would be the better choice. As well as 10, piste 11 is a pleasant shorter blue which is good for warming up. If you want to ski down to Hintermoos, red 10a is probably easier than 19. Red 30, the run down alongside the Sinalcobahn gondola, is mostly quite easy though the last section is a bit steeper and sometimes mogully.

Thank you Espri. Looks like lots of snow in Lofer at the moment. Hang onto it for another 3 weeks until we arrive.

If you have a car, the blue at the other end of the valley into Mulbach is really long and great fun. There's also a couple (from memory, don't have a map to hand) of other blues 'up top' at that end and a snow park which is usually empty and has lovely snow and gradient for some confidence building. If there's plenty of snow, the 3 and 13 reds will all be lovely, very wide and fairly straight. But if it's icy, choose carefully. We had an absolute ball in the Hochkonig, loved it.
