Heading out at the end of next week, looks like more snow over next few days mainly above 2000m. Will update as soon as I'm there, who's out this season?

Arrived last Friday and first ski day was on Saturday. Best conditions I’ve had in the five years I’ve been coming here. Great coverage everywhere. Yesterday the snow came, limited visibility so stayed around Plansegg area and skied fresh tracks on every run right up to 16.30 when I finished. Got up early this morning and headed to Masner, but first run of the day was the itinerary at the top of Plansegg going down to the Scheidbahn it was untracked and absolutely mint. The temperature rose overnight and it was about 3 degrees at the top, so the snow around Masner was wind blown and a bit heavy off piste but still good fun.
Spent the afternoon with the kids just lapping the off piste skiers left of Obere Scheidbahn, absolutely superb and no one on it.
Mores snow forecast tomorrow but high winds, will see how it pans out

Bitterly cold today up high with strong wind but lifts nearly all operating, currently trying to warm up in the Hexenhutte in the Masner area. Avalanche risk at 4 today, lots of fresh snow but need to be careful. Visibility good, not too busy today, the cold must be keeping people away.

What a day. Amazing conditions on Plansegg with perfect powder. As @Peter Ross, said bitterly cold. Run of the day was the off piste to the right of the Kerbabfahrt from the top of Plansegg to the bottom of the Scheidbahn, lost count how many times we did it today.
Headed to Masner mid morning but as we got higher the snow off piste became worse on all aspects, wind affected and less of it and we decided to head back as it was Baltic. The temperature read -8 at the Moosbahn but it felt more like -20.
The snow coverage everywhere is amazing with more snow on the way, anyone coming out this month is sorted.

Another great day yesterday. Bit warmer than Thursday but still very cold. It was a case of eat, sleep, repeat, skiing powder all day again 
The best snow was at Plansegg, it’s not the steepest but ideal gradient for taking kids into powder and my 11 and 13 year old just want to ski in the deep stuff all day and we were able to find fresh lines right up until the close of play. The wind had blown again at altitude and covered our tracks from the previous day on our favourite off piste run down to Scheidbahn.
When you head down from the top of Plansegg skier’s right there is a piste heading down to Scheidbahn. We popped over the side of that into the off piste which runs parallel to the red going back to Komperdell. It was wind blown but really great fun to ski and no one was on it so we kept lapping it. You follow a traverse around above the top of the Familienbahn, a nice pitch completely untracked but not a place to fall over in front of the chair lift crowd.
We had time to have lunch at the See Alm which was great. One of my friends was bigging up The Kolner House just below Komperdell, he eats their everyday and says it is good value and excellent.
Best week we’ve ever had there, private lessons were great, my son’s group lesson no so and he decided to come out on the last day, the level just
wasn’t strong enough. They have done away with ‘ski offs’ now and just ask people their level, it’s not a good system but they didn’t seem bothered to listen to any feedback.
It was hosing when we left this morning and even more so in Innsbruck where are spending the night after our flight was delayed.
Booked again for next year which will be our 6th visit, been truly blessed to meet and make friends with some great people who go back year after year - it really is a great place
Next stop for me Verbier In 3 weeks

Arrived in Serfaus morning. half day on the snowboard. Sunny and warm (3:45pm: 16'c in the village. 7/8'c at 2,500m). Entire area open. When you know the place and look for the right exposures, its possible to find some pockets of powdery snow not far from pistes, or more likely cold snow with good grip. Otherwise, spring snow prevails, which i much prefer to ice for the pistes anyway. Good days to hit the challenging black pistes!
Same conditions expected today.
