 Poster: A snowHead
|
Going to St Anton on 4th Feb with a group of 12.
All fairly experienced - a couple of instructors, an ex-seasonaire etc.
Any recommendations on:
a) best off-piste runs
b) guides
c) best bumps runs
Cheers
Mark

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

b) Graham Austick - Piste to Powder. I didn't get to ski with him myself but it was clear that the guy is legend around St Anton. Book before u go though or you'll be unlikely to get in.
btw. Welcome to snowHeads

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

markymark, Graham Austick is very much recommended. I'm skiing with Piste to Powder that week.
The Mattun valley is probably the best of the itinerary runs. If you don't have local knowledge then the true off-piste is best avoided without a guide as it is quite dangerous and avalanche prone. With a guide the run off the top of the Valluga down to Zurs is a classic.
Every run in St Anton is a bump run by the end of the day!

I can vouch for that I was in St Anton's Spar quite a few times and didn't see Admin in there once.

You're joking right? that place ain't even open after Apres ski.
I'm not a tourist or a punter, I'm just feeding my addictions (i.e. skiing and those rather nice fruity bars they sell in Spar).

markymark, the thing to know with St Anton is that the top ski school classes are off piste all day long, so you don't actually need to go to the expense of a guide unless you want to.
Some of my favourite off-piste there is over the back of the Rendl (called the Hinterer Rendl) - lovely bowls of powder on the right day, peeling into a beautiful valley and down through the woods.
