 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Just about to pull the trigger on some mid January flights. Saalbach would be our preferred destination but wondering at the last minute if we should go to Sölden instead. I know a lot can change in 2 weeks but the forecast isn't giving me much confidence.

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

I have looked at those and although nearly all the lifts/runs are open there's a fair bit of green and brown visible on the webcams - one of the reason I started considering alternatives.

@Snow Hound, I assume that the green and brown patches are in unpisted areas and mainly on lower, south-facing slopes. I’ve been in Saalbach since 11th December. The skiing has generally been pretty good. All links and valley runs are open. Snow cannons are going at full pelt. Obviously there’s no off-piste, but piste management is as usual first class.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Snow Hound, why would Sölden be better?

@tatmanstours, thank you. Flights booked.
@munich_irish, I haven't been to either area but looking at the maps Sölden has a fair bit of terrain above 2500m where as far as I can see Skicircus has none. I realise there are other factors involved but usually when the snow is poor it's best to go high. I've had a pretty good run of the snow arriving with me on my last 5 or so trips so hopefully that continues.

Solden has a glacier with generally better snow quality, in that part of the resort at least, in consequence
It and obergurgl also a fair bit higher than the average Austrian resort

Ski circus really do a great job on maintaining the pistes.
