 Poster: A snowHead
|
Flying out to Munich a week today and have yet not decided where to go for 3 days skiing.
We were hoping to go for Saalbach but are hearing unconfirmed reports that the snow is better in the west. The snow doesn't have to be perfect but if it's not great we'll aim for the best available.
Anybody out there at the moment with an idea what it's like?
St Anton & Ischgl are options but there seems very little accomodation available and we'd probably have to stay out of the resort. Solden is the same. Mayrhofen and Neustift seem the other likely options.
Any thoughts appreciated !!

With the current warm weather I'd be inclined to visit St Anton if you want expert terrain or Kitzsteinhorn (Kaprun) if easy blues & reds are OK for you. Even Obertauern isn't doing too well this season, most of the last snowfall fell just north of Obertauern.

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

Yes - we live here. We are in Radstadt which is part of the Ski Amade network - 45 mins from Salzburg. The snow and skiing here is excellent. We were at Saalbach last Saturday and half of it was green - no joke - and the pistes wernt too good. The Ski Amade pistes are in much better condition than Saalbach.
Having said that - snow was due early this week so things could have changed.
Hope that helps.

flangesax,
Been up the road to Obertauern in the last few days? - if not, do you fancy nipping up there to have a look at snow conditions? 
Thinking of going end of March and wouldn't mind some local knowledge.
DB, How bad are the reports you've seen - or have you visited Obertauern recently?

A workmate was at Obertauern Sat 24 - Tue 27 Mar and they received no new snow although nearby Zauchensee had new snow and was therefore better. Obertauern had no offpiste to speak of although it has received 10cm since. All the lifts are open at Obertauern so it can't be that bad and with the warm weather (and rain) higher is generally better.
