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 :-)

Last Tuesday I went skiing in Obertilliach (Öst Tirol) with a couple for friends. A little over two hours from Innsbruck; south into Italy, then east back into Austria (Carinthia). As soon as you cross the Brenner Pass the snow starts getting deeper, but Obertilliach was pretty obscene..!

It's a great little ski area, only one long chairlift and two drags, but plenty of terrain. Lots of fairly steep tree lines and pillow fields.

A bit too warm for real blower pow (or maybe I'm just spoilt after Japan), but there was certainly enough if it! No action photos as it was dumping all day and we didn't stop, but here's a few screngrabs, shots from the town and my mate Bernie's go pro edit:

DB, well worth it, I think they're getting more in the next few days too! Take chains though, if we didn't have a Finnish driver we'd definitely have needed them!.

clarky999,
I think there is a fine line between shed loads of snow (so much that roads & lifts are shut or avi danger is very high) to wet grass. Was thinking maybe somewhere around Badkleinkirchheim (Forecast to see around 60cm new today if Bergfex is to be believed) would be optimal as it's also 3.5 instead of 4.5 hours drive from here.


I see some resorts saw 100cm fresh yesterday snowHead

Sölden (circa 1:15min from St Anton) has around twice the base of St Anton at the moment but by April that will probably change.

kitenski, any ski resort to the south within how many hours/minutes you want to drive.

Saying that, while amounts of snow are much lower than normal in Tirol, the quality of what's down is still excellent. Had another great day skiing pow at Nordkette today, for example...
