 Poster: A snowHead

Still have 8 weeks to go, but wanted to see if anyone could update conditions at Ischgl. Seems like a long period of time between dumps. Many thanks

I am there now. It has been warm this week, but it is now getting cooler. There is snow forecast for this evening and then a biger dump over the weekend. Conditions are fairly good, but due to the warm weather, it was getting spring-like underfoot towards the end of the day. With the temperatures dropping and the new snow, this should be a bit better.

It's only going to drop as it's night and the sun's not around, it's not a climactic effect! Even then hardly at all. Sorry... this is too close to get much wrong. There would also have to be a fairly major change for any kind of dump around the weekend (much below 2000m anyhow) let alone a "bigger dump!"
There *may* be a tiny dip in temps around the 28th and once or twice around the 1st - 3rd March but the major cooldown is now likely to be around the 4th/5th March.

I was basing my info on Snow-forecast.com, which, when I originally posted, was predicting a big dump for Saturday, now, however, it is looking more like a sprinkling. We had snow on the mountain this morning, and this afternoon it was just a bit cloudy.
@carled : Did I mention climatic effect? I happen to know that it usually gets colder at night. Did you want me to also tell you why the sky is blue and how clouds are formed? I have been here all week, and it has got colder during the day. -1 degrees on the mountain today, compared to +3 degrees on Sunday. Now, call me old fashioned, but I would say that was getting colder. If you are looking at websites for the temperature changes to come, then you might even *gasp* be wrong.
@admin : Thanks for the reply. Now can you introduce a new rank for people with more then 800 posts and coming from Leicester. I suggest it is called "super-****head".

We were there last week too -- we tried to ski our last day on Saturday and failed due to the moderately massive storm that socked in around mid-morning, hung around for the rest of the day, and by 3pm had closed more or less the whole top of the mountain.
It was pretty hairy stuff on the way up in the gondola; several stops, lots of blowing around precariously in the wind, a bit of screaming from the girls, and a forcible unloading at the middle station where we were told in no uncertain terms we'd be going no higher. Pity the poor chap in the gondola behind ours -- his board had blown out of the rack, leaving him with no way down on the piste, and the attendants wouldn't let anyone take the bubble back down. We think he just had to hang around while the piste patrol went looking for his board some 500m below....
So yes, it was warm, slushy and springlike last week, with a dusting of snow up high on Wednesday morning and then more on Friday afternoon. We couldn't get up top on Saturday but I believe a fair bit of snow fell as a result of the storm  , and I think they've had a bit more since....

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Correct me if I'm wrong... I'm sure you will... but isn't "With the temperatures dropping and the new snow..." an indicative description of climatic conditions...? As opposed to "it's getting colder at night" conditions as I referred to. You said there was snow forecast for the evening on Tuesday 26th and a "biger dump" (your spelling mistake, not mine) over the weekend.
All I did was point out that you were, basically, talking out of your bumhole and you have continued to do so. I said then that there wasn't going to be any major event until, ooh, about the 4th/5th March... Let me see, what date is it today? Hmm and has the weather just changed? Maybe it just has... obviously a lucky guess on my behalf though.
Keep taking the tablets and feel free to keep hurling abuse at me for, well, basically being right. Obviously it's completely justified and I have no problem whatsoever with you continuing to better yourself throught the medium of ranting on the internet. I feel proud at having managed to wind you up so much that your second ever snowheads post was such a vitriolic one against me when I wasn't even that rude by my standards in my reply to you. Usually it takes me two or three posts to wind someone up to that level. I must be improving with age.
But... yeah... why is the sky blue and how are clouds formed? I'm dying to know, do tell...

Sorry to take so long to reply, but since I have come back from my holiday, I have not looked here. Just thought I would pop in and see if a mild ribbing would have brought any results. It is always easy to spot the people on forums who have no other interest except the forums.

That's what I am thinking. Would you have posted if you were wrong?

Your standards are obviously a lot lower than mine.
Have fun carled.
See you all next year!
