Poster: A snowHead
|
All runs are complete and off piste cover is fairly adequate; yesterday was great but it rained all this morning all the way up to 2400m so the snow's a bit soggy at the moment and off piste has got a bit more patchy.
Sorry it's not great news

Just pray that it turns to snow before morning

well we've kind of snuck in the back door by staying in Zug - and u know i'm only here for your sake to report on the conditions
Anyway it rained for most of the night but turned to snow about 7am. Unfortunately it's falling pretty horizontally so not much has hit the ground yet but at least it's not damaging the pistes.

There's actually been quite a lot of new snow up high. The rain took its toll though and where there's no new snow the piste is rock solid which makes for some interesting variations in the surface particularly where yesterday's slushy moguls have frozen then filled in with new snow.
All in all though it's brilliant today!

Saturday was the best day by far. Blue skies and neough new snow collected up in corners and gullies to get some really nice turns in.
Lech prides itself on its piste management but it was incredible how much they had improved the condition of all the pistes with the relatively small amount of new snow we had.
Zurs was the place to be though - it seemed to have collected all the horizontal snow that had blown through Lech over the day. Anyone heading out to St Anton bear in mind: it's worth the 10-15 mins on the bus to get round to Zurs at the moment.
On the way out on Sunday morning, the runs into St Anton town looked patchy and wierd set against a rather too green background. Higher up was reportedly still fine though. The pic shows the view from just below the Nasserein lift: there were a lot more patches of snow off the piste at this end of town than there were down towards the Galzigbahn.
