 Poster: A snowHead
|
Not sure where to book up. There is quite a bit of snow due at Zell over the next week according to snow-forecast.com, and not much in Val. Val has quite a bit already and is much higher, but not sure which would be the best bet. Which would you go for

You say booking up in the next week, but when would you be skiing?

Val T is fine at the moment - great skiing on piste, but heavy off piste

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

OK.
That is close enough that with the current forecasts, conditions are not likely to change much before you go.
Both have plenty of snow, and almost certainly still will in that week, so it is more down to which you prefer the look of than which has the better conditions. Which will depend to some extent on what type of skiing you are looking for - are you an all-mountain expert looking for gnarly off-piste, or are you a timid 2-3 weeks under your belt looking for blue & easy red pistes? Or most likely, something in between.

VT will probably give your group far more skiing options but IMHO the town is soulless, dead and ugly, and I find that France is far more expensive than Austria... Zell has less terrian but is altogether a better holiday experience in my view... with the snow like it is now, I'd always go for Zell, but then I'm biased cos it's my wifes favourite resort and if she's happy, then I'm happy!!! 
If you get a decent guide there's plenty of touring around Zell and Kitz... you can ski to Saalbach, Piesendorf and there are several other interestingroutes around the glacier.
