 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey all....
Due out in Saalbach on the 23rd. I have been following all the weather reports with my fingers crossed for snow, I'm bringing the two kids for their first time so I'm hoping all will be well......They appear to have opened some lifts and the webcams indicate a look of white around the place....Is anyone there at the moment that could fill me in or maybe just back ??
Thanks,
Ben

Pension Enzian (i think that is right) came on the other day to say it had started.
I am going to Saalbach on the 23rd too. You going with Nielsen's?
i think it looks Ok at present. They are conserving snow at present and saving it for the big weeks of Xmas and New Year. It will probably snow non-stop when we get there!

Ben Dover, I've seen people on Zwolferkogel on the webcams today. I suspect there's only very few runs open.
The interactive piste map on the website shows the only open runs are:
86 & 87 on Asitz, 11 on Zwolferkogel and 3 on the back of Schattberg
Which is 4 runs, in 3 different corners of the resort.
The next few days are scheduled to be quite warm. Prob not warm enough to melt what is on this hills, but possibly enough to keep tha cannons off for a day or so.
I suspect by the 23rd it will be better. The nice thing about Saalbach, is the hills are grassy rather than rocky, so it only takes about 30cm of fresh snow to let the entire resort open. They've also got good snow-making provoding it's cold enough to use them.

Just got a report from Chris Bish who is in Saalbach now:
Not great. Mostly machine snow. Hard and icy softens to slush like April. Most runs open but not links.
