 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
I was watching TV last night and I stepped away for a while. When I returned I saw the following image on my screen. My google chromecast puts up a screensaver after a pause.
This mountain, with the chairlift on the left, looks great. My first impression was it's Whistler or another place in Canada or the Rockies. But I thought the mountain range on the right makes me think of the Alps. It could be this a photoshopped image and not a real ski resort.
So, is this anywhere?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Looks real to me, that's a drag lift not a chairlift, presumably because its on a glacier. I'm not saying that it is Glacier 3000 but that has a very similar layout, gentle glacial runs accessed by drag lifts backing onto big cliffs. There are quite a few places in the Alps that fit this description so I would be very surprised if it was photoshopped

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

It does indeed look like the Dachstein Glacier. Good spot.

Dachstein! I was looking into the Schladming area for next year. Maybe I will ski the glacier. I'll have to learn how to yodel like the two guys in the video.
