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 :-)

Where for powder?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We've got up to 10 days from this week for a ski trip. Austria seems like the obvious choice but where for tree-skiing and accessible runs between pistes?

The original plan was to visit resorts along the Aosta valley, but snow conditions aren't as good. We were going to take a camper van, but Austria seems to be difficult for stopping outside campsites. So we'd probably be looking for a cheapish apartment.

Any suggestions welcome.

Pyrenees, 1.5 meters expected at Bareges over the next 24 hours.

@jrussell88, if you want powder, you need to look at where it is currently snowing or about to snow. In Tirol, it hasn’t snowed for over a week, so while the mountains are in good shape and the piste skiing is excellent, you are not going to find powder between the pistes, or really anywhere that is easily accessible from a lift. If you are prepared to hike, you might do better, but it’s probably worth getting a guide.

We are currently in our motorhome at La Thuile but will be moving over the weekend when friends leave. I'm currently keeping my eye on Prato Nevoso, we've shot down there in the van before to find powder that wasn't further north. There is a good camper sosta for about €20 but some vans park in the village.

@jrussell88, Japan, apparently.

BC or AK also useful, but for AK, 10 days a short window.

Yes, it looks a bit dry at the moment.

As far as Austria goes, which resorts allow and have accessible tree-skiing?

Ski Amade - Bad Gastein and Dorfgastein?

Same in Kitzbuhel and Ski Welt. All tracked out between pistes, but some superb snow if you tour for it. We went out with an instructor/guide yesterday, took the kiwest gondola most of the way up and skinned for about an hour. Absolutely spectacular snow all the way to the valley floor. But we had to work for it.

Incidentally, I have never had such a cheap day of guiding as I got from Kirchberg ski school:

Woosh... that's the sound of 150cm of fresh powder in the Pyrenees going completely over the dodgy Dutchman's head.

Europe really isn't the best of suggestions for predictable powder.

Go later in the season and look for corn.

Just had some sublime, mainly untracked powder in the Maria Alm area of Ski Amade, over 8 days since the big snow fall.
Used the "Bergfex Tour" app to find some suitable freeride routes, so took about 40 minutes of gentle climbing (no skins required) to find this route which looked like a dozen or so people have skid...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm in the Haute Savoie atm so Salzburgerland maybe Ski Amade looks appealing, especially given the outlook for next week.

I'll post a more specific question about Ski Amade.

@jrussell88, why go East when the fresh snow will be in the West. Cold temps too which brings all the lower (and cheaper?) resorts into play. From Tuesday onwards you should also get some sunshine. Could be epic
