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 :-)

No reason this should put you off Ischgl - unless you like staying on the 'wrong' side of the river. Looking at the plans I think the idea is that while it's multi-story on the road side it looks like it;s only the top story that's visible on the village side.

When travelling along the road, this side of the road has never been particularly pretty regarding the view from the road. Last season it was full of building works and cranes, yet I didn't hear any complaints wink

You are of course entitled to your opinion and can freely choose where you spend your winter holiday, however I think it is up to the people of Ischgl to decide what they want Happy

Well, looking at the positives, more visitors will now be able to park their car out of the weather....... and Ischgl will have something in common with Preston.

Regardless, still not the most aesthetically pleasing development for somewhere as picturesque as Ischgl rolling eyes - more in keeping with Flaine or the Eastern Bloc....(or Preston...).

Wouldn't put me off visiting (again) - but a bit surprising nonetheless.

Meanwhile if you can drag yourself away from the car park this is what the snow currently looks like.

@nozawaonsen, - finally some sense Smile I have never made a trip decision based on the beauty (or not) of a car park on the fringe of the resort. For anyone who hasn't been - one of the best on and off snow experiences in the Alps.

There is not a single private house/residence in Ischgl.
Every building is registred as a business.

Enjoyed last week with some nice fresh snow that appeared mid week, now on second week.
Went to See and Kappl today for a little ski just to see what they were like as I'd never been. Obviously there is a lot less snow than 'normal' but you can ski back to the village at both.
Some snow is forecast for tomorrow afternoon (30% chance apparently) so hopefully that will happen.

Really impressed with the piste conditions here. The ski instructor told me that they've invested heavily in snow making and piste management over the years. They've gotloads of top end€400k piste machines. The locals who own all the shares don't/can't take dividends so there's significant re-investment into the resort. Compare that to st. Anton where (according to the instructor) 52% is owned by an investment company who want a return on their investment. They've also got basins that naturally refill with mountain spring water all year round so they always have water for snowmaking.

@notnats, agreed there may not be as much snow as normal but the pistes are lovely.
Skied in Galtur today it was pretty empty and the snow was really nice apart from the odd patch here and there.
Still better than most places I've skied though in the same circumstances.

I'm also in Ischgl and have also been impressed with the condition of the pistes. Was surprised at how good the red 80 run into Samnaun was! Spring like conditions this afternoon but still not too bad. Not sure if I'll bother skiing down further than the middle station tomorrow though, as the combination of ice and sugar snow isn't great.
