Is there a thread anywhere on ski welt conditions for 2017? Can't find one. Heading off to Soll at the end of the month and getting a bit nervous about the apparent lack of snow!

@Laurs234, it'll be fine. I night skied there last week and the snow quality was top class all the way to the bottom. I think there's a deluge expected after 4th Jan.

Too be honest looking at those photos. They don't inspire much confidence in the conditions do they. A thin strip of man made snow isn't what anyone is looking for on a ski holiday.

No, indeed not. But skiable pistes are certainly better than no skiing at all. And we have had plenty of good skiing in the past weeks, with the bonus of great weather, so I wouldn't see things so negatively at all. And now it is snowing.

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

There has definitely been a transformation from the photos above thanks to the snow in the middle of the week. It's been snowing moderately in Soll since about 10pm last night with more forecast for the rest of the day. Will post this evening about conditions on the slopes but if the valley is anything go by they will be great.

We've been out from Soll today across to Brixen, and have had problems distinguishing piste from off piste, as everything had 50cm of fluffy powder over it The pistes got a bit lumpy later in the day, and visibility/contrast was limited for much of the day as the snow continued to fall until 5pm, with maybe another 15-20cm added through the day. The next three days are forecast to be sunny and clear, and are likely to be epic. The only issue is that the off-piste hasn't packed down at all, so while the snow is light and fluffy, the rocks and vegetation under it are within reach.
More snow is forecast for Thursday and Friday. At the moment, the valleys have 20cm of fresh in the streets, and all of the valley runs are in great condition.

You know it makes sense.

Snow conditions were generally very good if a little firm on the north facing slopes of Söll this morning. Spent the afternoon in the Hochbrixen area which had had a lot more sun on it and had softened up nicely. Even found some nice pockets of fluffy stuff off to the side of a few of the pistes.

I skied Westendorf on Thursday. Snow mostly good, with the steeper sunny pitches starting to get a bit crispy and shiny. Best first thing in the morning with the newly pisted hard corduroy.

I'll hazard a guess based on what is happening here in Niederau so right next door to Hopfgarten, Westendorf etc. Snow here all day quite wet in the valley but good on the mountain with about 20 - 30 cm falling up there.

@skilass, If you look at my post today for Niederau you can clearly see the Höhe Salve
(top of Söll maybe 6-7kM from Niederau) and if you zoom in then you will see evidence of snow in the trees so I guess it has new snow there
