Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Is there ANY snow at Kitzbuhel or Corvara at the moment?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

We have a week in Corvara from Feb 23rd, followed by 5 days in Kitzbuhel in March. All the webcams from Kitz look pretty bad - lots of brown "snow" (read dirt)! Sad

Has anybody been there recently and seen the snow?

Is there anywhere close to Innsbruk reachable by train that has a good snow base at the moment? Maybe we should go there instead. any help gratefully appreciated! Very Happy

Sunmargo, cathy has just returned and in fact my mum returned from just down the road at Kitzbuhel. General impression is that things improved significantly over last week, but aren't great. Things are better higher up.

We got back from Kitzbuhel last weekend, and although there was very little snow when we arrived the situation had greatly improved by the time we were leaving! Evil or Very Mad Some pictures and snow reports in this thread http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=535963#535963

They're currently reporting 21 cms on the upper slopes, with a dusting of fresh snow yesterday and more to come. We were skiing at the end of the week on about 15cms (only 9.66 cms when we arrived) on the upper slopes and that was plenty - OK not all the slopes were open and off-piste was limited if that's your thing. Much less snow is needed to cover pasture land than rocks. I must admit the current web cam images showing the Horn don't look good, but there's plenty of good skiing over on the main Hahnenkamm/Penkelstein/Jochberg/Pass Thurn slopes.

By the beginning of March conditions should be fine, I certainly wouldn't cancel! snowHead

Hi
I am going out there next Wednesday 7th Feb. Although the forecast between now and then doesn't appear to show any new snow, hopefully there will be enough to get a few good runs going, or I'll just hop on a bus or train to somewhere where there is a decent amount.

I'll try and report what its like on my return.

Gilbern74, as you can see in my report you can get to the glacier at Kaprun in an hour & 20 mins by train & ski bus. If you do go, make sure you get the train from the Kitzbuhel station not the Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm station (almost a Embarassed ). Have fun!

Thanks cathy. I followed your report and photos on the other forum/thread. Very informative + good work. Hope I can be as informative and helpful when I get back!

Hi

We just got back from the Dolomites, and conditions overall were good, with all pistes open, generally firm. We were skiing at Pedraces / La Villa on Friday and conditions there were excellent, as across the whole Alta Badia area.

That said, it was quite warm, so I think they could do with a top-up or at least a cold snap before you go. I would guess you would be ok.

Out of interest, how do you get to Corvara from Innsbruck? We were staying in Arabba, flying into Treviso which was ok, but might fly to Innsbruck next time.

Cheers,

Ant

Thanks Ant and Cathy. Great pictures Cathy! Is a red run the easy slopes? didn't think the beginners would like skiing on grass too much! I tried it in the 70's - too hard on the knees!! wink

Trevor we're staying at the Villa Trieste in Corvara. The depth seems to be 80 - 90 cms on the mountain which is a pretty good base. 12 cms at Kitzbuhel still worries me.

Ant - We have a friend driving us to Innsbruk from Corvara, so no help on the flights sorry. Maybe you could go into Bolzano?

Thanks-I've found a room at Garni Rusada Col Alt 98. I haven't been to the area before and wondered if it was in a reasonable position for ski school ,lifts etc or whether there is some reason why it seems to be the only place with availability.

Got back from Kitzbuhel last night. Snow was fine just some of the steeper blacks that needed more snow on them due to their steepness. Definitley a ski friendly rather than snowboard friendly resort - runs felt pretty short and longe rones all had significant flat bits in them.
