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 :-)

@enduroaid, that’s great because last Christmas week in Zell Am Ziller I couldn’t get over to Krimml/Gerlos etc all week as the link was closed due to lack of snow I think

Promising stuff. But is it not too early for them to make such a call? Or in reality can open mean one snowcannoned strip is there?

ive got a lads trip arranged in March and although i boarded in Mayrhoffen 2 years ago I cant remember any of the slopes . I know we got the train a couple of times ( specifically to one small resort that had a single man bucket lift from the bottom ) so for you Hoff regulars can you suggest some areas we should attempt to head for preferably away from crowds but that offers some decent boarding and a decent sit down table service restaurant for a group of blokes

How are conditions? Cams look great. Is piste cover good? Any ice?

Conditions are great, far better than i expected. Snow all the way down to the valley. Piste cover is good, a lift guard told me they might even open the valley run next week. No slush, and just the occasional ice spot in the afternoon. Snowing right now, and is a tad windy at the top but we've been out all day.

As freeriding goes its limited but ive done a few runs outside the pistes at least with about 1dm soft snow, a bit heavy though. Seen people doing the valley run and the part between gletsher bus 3 and the other gondola but i wouldt right now. After the expected meter on the way maybe i would Smile

Hi, we are going to Hintertux the second week of December. I am looking for ski hire for three of the group. We will probably get it from Intersport as it is next to our hotel. Alpinsports.com can do it cheaper (for Intersport), is there any reason why we shouldn't book through them? Also just wondering how long the bus is to the rest of the Zillertal area? Thanks very much for any help.

Really decent skiing (or snow anyway) in Hintertux today, but visibility not so good. Anyone with time on their hands should go tomorrow.

Didnt get any better photos though, busy skiing Madeye-Smiley

Lots of offpiste tracks. A lot of crevasses and holes to avoid. Lots of idiots who cannot ski going around the holes. Snow bridges probably not formed fully.

Snow on glacier is powdery and wonderful to ski.

Down below glacier is mainly man made and a bit icy. However it was between -5 to -13 today. Cold out of the sun. Glorious sun though.

Snow forecast for tomorrow. V cold and high wind.....interesting with 4 kids in tow.

@Bennyboy1, nice pics! Also saw a lot of eerie lookikg tracks, some tracks right next to the crevasses up around the olperer and other places. Dont know if theyre made by skiers who really knows what theyre doing or just stupid people wothout risk assessment Neh Neh

Good luck tomorrow!

Hochfügen was fantastic yesterday - good snow on piste and surprisingly great off piste.
Hintertux today was a bit Scottish. Windy and poor visibility but awesome snow.
I'm hoping it stays cold over the next few weeks. I'll be a bit sad if it warms up and all this lovely snow disappears!
