 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
First of all, sorry if I missed any threads which already deal with this, but I did have a look and couldn't see any. I've also found it hard getting information with Google searches.
My question is what conditions will be like in Mayrhofen and the Zell am Ziller in mid to late March (planning a trip from the 14-21 next year). I know that of course conditions can't be guaranteed, but I'm just wondering in general what can be expected in the way of snow generally.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Rich

In general they are normally pretty good. As you say you can't guarantee anything, however I would not be concerned about booking that week. Worst case you can get up to hintertux pretty easily, although I doubt you'd need to.

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

welcome to sH.
spent a week there at that time once, and had knee deep snow down in the valley at 600m, with the ploughs going all night long.
was there last yr for 2 weekends... roasting temperatures and slush in January, and superb fresh powder in March (weekend of 22nd/23rd).
it'll be fine. lifts don't close until a few weeks later, and that's not due to the lack of snow.

Ah that's great, cheers guys. Like you say, I figure I can always just head up the glacier if there is a problem.
Thanks!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Lermontov,
We were there a week later in about 2009. It snowed most evenings on the mountain. First time I ever tried skiing in powder. It will most likely be lovely.

I was there second (long) weekend of March this year; it was quite warm and snow was very iffy (snow cover down to resort level only in two places, and only because of snowmaking). We ended up spending most of our time on the glacier at Hintertux. But apparently we were a bit unlucky this year.

Done the same week 3 out of the last five years and had enough snow. Don't stick to Penken be prepared to travel to Zell, Kaltenbach etc. Use of train is included with ski pass. You should find plenty to satisfy you but do your home work well in advance about how to get around using the train and buses. e.g. use the Horberg lift to avoid the Penken Bahn lift queue. If you need more advice pm me.
Regards Kevin

Yes. We did the Snowbombing thing (first week of April) a few years ago and the snow was great for the time of year. Definitely freeze/thaw and soft in the afternoons, but with plenty of terrain you will not be short of places to ski. You need to use the transport links to get the best out of it. Great place to holiday.
