It looks badass! The increased capacity is certainly needed when all the race teams are queuing up at 7:30am on Autumn mornings.

Anyone skiing second week of British Easter holidays can expect delays and queues as the Eisgrat lift is out of circulation from 3 April which means everyone going up from car spark has to take the Gamsgarten gondola which will make getting up from Mittelstation awkward at busy times. Plus the only way to the glacier will be the 8 man Rotadll lift. Oh, and I arrive on 3 April!
New lift looks epic for following season, however.

Just checked piste map.... Two long t-bars and two chairs will also get you oop top without having to go up to Gamsgarten and queue for Rotadl . Won't help with the cram from the car park though.

This is certainly going ahead, I have had it first hand from the lift management. Should make a huge difference. Now just the road from IBK to Mutterbergalm to fix!

@Piste View, certainly going ahead can see that from webcam. Season's worth of pain to get through first though.
@clarky999, beware the heatwave coming later in the week, not that I am even remotely jealous

@clarky999, - just a shame the snow card isn't up and running for another week but hey, powder is powder!

@Piste View, yeah, and the Ost Tirol resorts are a big attraction (when it's 20°C föhn in IBK it can be was it deep and cold in Obertilliach), but I already have to buy the Montafon season pass too, so can't stretch to the Snow Card!
Do you get any days in the Arlberg with the Snow Card?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

You know it makes sense.

@SaraJ, I have spoken to the director at St Anton TVB and also the bergbahn - zero chance of it ever happening was the message. You never know but it was a pretty no sadly. It is already the best ski pass in the history of humankind but just imagine St Anton included!

That's a real shame!
They'll never join fully as the Arlberg season pass costs more than the Tirol Snow Card, but I keep hoping they might work out a deal to get 3 days skiing (or so) as with the Freizeitticket!
Unlimited access to Ischgl is really nice though - it wasn't on the pass when I last had the Snow Card, and only get 3 days there with the Freizitticket.
Sölden would be nice too to save me driving all the way up to Obergurgl

Yes Ischgl is a mega draw for me. It is unlimited but for the high season peak (as far as I understand xmas / new year). But this being Austria it is actually cloaked in mystery and I have never ever managed to get a straight answer as to when it is valid! The card has worked every time for me though. Yes St Anton is such a shame and you never know things might change but it has been a resounding no each time I have had it direct from those in the driving seat. Solden is also a belter. But I think you are doing ok for options (Montafon and Freizit)! On the vagueness / deception note, my wife has used her Freizitticket at a Kassa in Lech on the basis that it is the same ski region - I almost fell off my planks in shock as she brandished it!

St Anton has always wanted to retain its independence & history. They do things their own way which makes its special.
