Poster: A snowHead
|
Mrs B & I are heading to the Tyrol next week, starting with the overnight ferry from North Shields to Ijmuiden on Sunday. We plan to arrive somewhere (nothing booked yet, other than the ferry...) in Austria to ski on Tuesday afternoon, then ski for 3 weeks. We've bought season passes for the Tyrol, so intend to be flexible and "go with the snow." Hopefully we will see some storm activity before the end of January....
In the meantime it looks like the west of the Tyrol (Ischgl in particular) has the best conditions, with Obergurgl looking ok as well.
Are there any s out there at the moment who can comment on conditions? Unless things change dramatically in a week, or unless anyone advises differently, I think we will be heading west to start our trip.
Thanks in advance.

@Bergmeister, go West.
Best conditions currently, and will likely pick up more of the snow that's due next week.
I would say Arlberg, but as you have the Snow Card, Ischgl is probably the best bet.

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

@Bergmeister, Take a peek around the Ötztal and Pitztal for the first few days, then move to wherever the snow reports look good. Schools go back around the 7th Jan and somehow I don't think the Russians are around in any great number for their Chrimble/New Year. Stubaital is reporting good conditions considering the dry period and not a great flood of people despite the gloom and doom being reported in the German/Austrian media

Stubai Glacier - had waist deep powder there while everywhere else was dry but regardless you are guaranteed good on-piste conditions.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I was booked for kasberg from 4 Jan for week but due to lack of snow I am going to schladming instead. I'm flying into Linz as that was nearest airport but 3-4 hour train journey now to schladming. There is a decent base there and more snow forecast for this weekend so hoping it's worth the journey.
