 Poster: A snowHead
|
Any  tried the white weeks in Obergurgle in early December in the past
Ive been to Obergurgle before but later in the winter
As ever with any trip in December my concern is with the snow cover
Not sure this is a goer yet I would have to get a flight to Gatwick the night before and also convince Mrs G its a good idea
Im organised for a trip in February but thats a long long way off

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

Obergurgl is normally a secure bet for early Dec. Obergurgl is just up the road from Sölden. Sölden is where the first world cup ski race of the season (normally) takes place - but didn't happen through bad snow conditions this year. It's getting colder and we are seeing quite a bit of rain in Eastern Austrian but I would hold off on early Dec Obergurgl at the moment.

Obergurgl has consistently had some of the best early-season snow for the last few years. It has not been unusual to see it open in late-November. Due to climate change and the later seasons, almost nowhere is guaranteed good early snow in Western Europe anymore. However, Obergurgl is better than most and I would say your chances of 'reasonable' conditions in Obergurgl during December are above-average.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Garfield, Obergurgle, isn't that something you do with aspirins?

LARGEZOOKEEPER, Used to find TCP worked better
Could be something you could do with gluevine
Dont think either would do much to cure my urge to get back onto the snow

If my memory serves me right, Obergurgl had a bad start to the season last year. Sometimes (like last year) the snow falls elsewhere first. At the moment Salzburg appears to be getting the snow, not Obergurgl.
