 Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
I got tempted by, and have booked, some cheap flights to Salzburg at the start of December.
Are there any ski resorts that will probably have some runs open and is easy to get to/from using public transport?

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

There is a suggestion of some snow and cold weather for the eastern alps over the next couple of weeks so I guess most places will open on time (bigger places from about 30/11) . Kaprun as already mentioned is open on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier. Obertauern is usually good for early or late season but as it has been so dry not sure it will be any better than elsewhere. Schladming often hosts an early ski race. All the big resorts have extensive snow making so they will make every effort to "open" on the advertised day. Personally I would wait, maybe until the day before your departure to decide, I cant see accommodation being an issue.
Practically everywhere in Austria is accessible using a combination of train and bus see https://www.oebb.at/en/ to get connections. There are regular buses between Salzburg airport and the Hauptbahnhof.

Thanks for the replies. Kaprun looks like my best bet.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hintertux/Mayrhofen maybe but there will be masses of accommodation avail everywhere so you can easily wait until near departure day to decide.

Thanks, good to know as a friend is thinking of going. Never can be too sure esp when they use opening dates with "voraussichtlich" on some sites.
