Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folk, hope your pre- Christmas preparations are going well
I'm looking at taking the nippers Easter skiing in 2020 (I like to plan ahead). Came across an article that suggested late season skiing at Kitzbuhel, which goes against what I'd always thought- that as a low resort, it suffers from poor snow.
Any experience of this? Thoughts and opinions?
Many thanks, Nick.

Kitzbuhel is low but has excellent snowmaking. So I'd wager that (in a normal year) plenty of runs would still be open at Easter, but might be quite slushy in the afternoons.
To be honest, wouldn't be my first choice for Easter / April. I'd usually be aiming higher.
However, hopefully someone will answer who has actually been there!

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

Im a big Kitzbuhel fan and I would be reluctant to go that late in the season, unless it has been exceptional for snow. The snow at Pass Thurn/Jochberg will be good but elsewhere you will probably be skiing on white ribbons that get heavy and slushy by early afternoon.

Ok peeps, you've convinced me to look elsewhere. Thanks for the feedback.
Merry Christmas

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We had a really good week’s skiing in Kitzbuhel at Easter a few years ago. No white ribbons, there was plenty of snow around. We even had a heavy snowfall one day. Most of the days it got quite sugary from lunch onwards, but still skiable. However, I wouldn’t book this far out, I’d leave it until a few weeks before to book so you can be sure that conditions will be fine.
