Oh rats. We are going there in February. Is there something about the place I should know then?!

Was glorious on the 2 days I skied there
And 4C in the July the year I drove over the Tauernpass rather than thru the Tauerntunnel en route to Slovenia where it was 37C.
Really must try to get down to Ski Amade area again. This season.

@bambionskiis, I actually had a lot of my best days in Obertauern last season. It can be a litte cloudier than some resorts as it is higher and out on it's own but i love the place.

Ah right. We've been doing Norway and Finland and both resorts have suffered badly from cloud when we were there, so used to it really. Makes sense what you are saying; I just hadn't thought it through about it being so high and therefore more prone to cloud. Glad you've enjoyed it though.

Snow down to about 1,000m today, it's bloody cold. I don't quite feel ready for this, it was baking hot sunshine not three weeks ago. There are a lot of news reports locally predicting a very cold winter. The ground is pretty well frozen already.

@queen bodecia, it will all be green again in a couple of days, fret not! The proper long lasting snows usually hit mid November.

After a bit of an Indian summer last week, there's some new snow this morning from about 1,400m upwards. Plus the cannons are being moved into position. It's coming folks! I have NEW SKI BOOTS in preparation...

Indian summer returned again last week but today is cold and drizzly with snow down to about 1,400m. The snow line is forecast to drop to 1,000m tonight. Any lower would make my journey to work tomorrow mighty interesting, must be time to change the wheels...

@mjrogers1, have you been to the Night Race before? Its such an incredible experience
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@Kooky, no this will be first time! We have booked yellow zone right next to finish line, not sure if this is good or bad. Have done Schladming for quite a few years now and absolutely love the place.

|
|
@mjrogers1, well put it this way, you wont see a thing but there are live screens all over the place! Don't forget your flags and car horns to cheer Dave Ryding on!

Which zone would people recommend to book? We're going for the night race too, for the first time.

I was going to book the red zone, but we will have our 2 year old with us, so thought it would be better to stay lower down. The stadium seats look good but are quite far back from the action. Definitely going to have a huge Union Jack in amongst all the red!!

I presume the different zones have food outlets/bars etc in them? Wouldn't want to get thirsty while the race is on.

I was in the blue zone a few years ago, about 10 gates from the finish. Booked it around now. Great view if you get in early enough to be near the front. Your feet get pretty cold standing on the ice for 4 hours though

This was my place on the Red Section, there are no food and drink facilities up there, you have to hike down through the crowds, not too pleasant but you do have a couple of hours after the first run and before the second.
I smuggled in a load of Willies and wine and the crowd next to me traded some of that for their food!
It really is an incredible atmosphere

Just on another note, we're wanting to give cross country a whirl while we're in Schladming. Any recommendations for venues/lessons? We're complete novices on the skinny skis.

Go up to Ramsay which is on the way to Dachstein glacier, this is a huge cross country area, the stadium area will sort you out with hire and lessons
