Poster: A snowHead
|
We are looking at going to St Anton on Jan 09 11th for 10 nights. I'm just wondering what the snow conditions/weather is like around then? I've read there being rain and lack of snow on the lower slopes in previous years. Is this true? If so, would it be better to go towards the end of Jan or the start?

It's a lottery. Last Year the snow came big time in December. I wouldn't hesitate to go anytime in Jan or Feb or Mar or April or Dec but I like it a lot.

northantsred, You lucky thing. I don't mind drinking but the clientelle in the KK & Moosewort are silly. If that Aussie with the guitar is still singing in Bar Cuba give him some stick as he made fun of me. The Hospiz Alms is more my thing.

I was there in virtually that time in Jan'07 and it was great. Still some off piste to find etc. But this year will be different!

Nope, last year was great in Jan, okay in Feb, and then more snow came in March/April. 2006 was a shocker, but still heaps above mid-mountain.
Just remember that we struggle to predict the weather 7 days out. What credence would you give to a forecast 3 months out?

Ahhhh I'm so jealous. I was there in Jan last year and although it was a bit patchy in places, it was fine higher up. As I recall we always managed to end up on route number 5 all the time, which was really icy! There are some fantastic blacks though, which aren't very black if you see what I mean.
As said though, when the snow comes is anyone's guess.
Please have a few drinks in the Piccadilly for me - it's where my username comes from, I loved it that much!! (It's spelt wrongly thanks to a typo when first registering! D'oh!)

You need to get down to Bar Cuba as well - walk down the high street towards nasserein, pass the kandahar on the right, keep going and a bit beyond scotties (IIRC) is bar cuba on the left. If you like live music the couple of bald blokes that play there (5-8pm M-F) are wicked..
