Poster: A snowHead

I thought some of the high altitude resorts are now re-opened for skiing? Don't see much talk about them...
Part of my reason for asking is to see how it compare to the re-opening in the US.
All the US resorts had chosen to set day limits enforced by "reservation", which in almost all cases "sold out" in a matter of 5 minutes when the "reservation window" opened! Whilst normally this time of year, there would have been scarcely few skiers on most resorts. Clearly, it's a strange phenomenon caused by the sudden closure of all resorts back in mid-March.
Wondering how the Europeans handled it?

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

Around 10-15 stations currently open in Western Europe, and 5-10 in North America.

I see, so it's not exactly "open", to the public...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@abc, How much is Mt Hood open to the public in a normal year ? I got the impression that it is similar to the setup at Tignes and Les Deux Alpes.
I have a French competition licence so I might be able to join a group at La Grave if anyone I knew was planning to train there.
Austria may be different, there is more space available at Hintertux that isn't reserved for race training, haven't skied at any of the other Austrian glaciers.

@rjs, your sense of Mt Hood is correct. Any day now they'll be in summer mode, with Palmer (closed/buried in winter) and The Mile. Race camps on Palmer, accessed by The Mile. In season, there is 2 or 3x the skiing, below timberline, all of it tame.
