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

Not been in March but had loadsa snow in late Jan once. Stop worrying, what will be will be. The SportGastein area is a bus-ride away and is pretty snowsure.

I've skied at Gastein in April, there's lots of skiing above the mid-stations so even if snow is suffering lower down, there's still loads to go at.

Apres.... er.... Silver Bullet was one place I remember. A lot of it goes on the hotel bars, I got absolutely wrecked one night at a "beach party" made the mistake of sucking on a straw sticking out of a big bucket on the bar. Bad headache next morning. A couple of mates found a lap-dancing place if that is your thing dazman, but don't ask me where! This was all Bad Gastein itself, not Bad Hofgastein, or Dorf Gastein. The thermal baths are worth one night. Heated open air pools, mixed naked saunas, oo la la.

I was there last New Years when snow conditions all round weren't the best and there was still pretty good skiing to be had higher up, especially in Sportgastein. I doubt you've anything to worry about. As for apres ski, the Silver Bullet was always buzzing and there were several other good bars in the same area. Bad Gastein isn't really a party town though.

As others here have affirmed march should still be pretty good. I was there for a couple of long weekends last year and the year before. 06 was certainly better then 07 but i do remember at least one day this year where we had an awesome days skiing in dorfgastein / grossarl... at least from top to middle. down to the bottom was rubbish but then that was the case almost all through the winter. and theres always sportgastein. as for nightlife silver bullet and haegbloms are my suggestion. theres also central (?) near the waterfall for later into the night. the nightlife is not comparable to st anton but kick things off with a few tequilas and you'll enjoy it !
