skied in Saalbach today, Zwölferkogl 4cm new snow, got first tracks on the black 15, really great til about 11ish, snow turned wet and heavy. Some of the red runs down into the valley are closed, lots of the southern facing runs are looking sparse. The weather is supposed to get warmer, up to double figures at the week end,on 1000m. The runs higher up were pretty decent.

Grey, wet and murky this morning. Light rain in town (schladming) looks like snow from around 1200m at the moment. Forecast for a storm setting in this afternoon and a drop in temps and snow down to valley, fingers crossed. Staying cool tomorrow then a fohn, so warm, on sunday. After that the forecast are all over the shop, but looking at the "best" one could be a fair bit of snow next week. The avi risk are generally down to 2 now, even 1 in southern styria, so the warm weather has been useful. This piste are still holding up very well here.

Snowline coming down, big wet flakes in town now, coming down quite hard. Looks like temp has dropped a degree or two.

waynos, some good news that! Looked at the Gastein cams today and there's big flakes up top and now in the town too. I'll be out there in 8 days (i'm not counting honest!).
Cheers

DAB, off to the Saalbach area on the 8th - hope they get a dump or too before hand, it doesn't sound great at the moment.

Gruss Gott from sunny Kitzbuhel. Beautiful day, pistes hard under a covering of sugar, but enjoyable to ski on. Piste-side off piste very nice in places; in one place it was so nice I decided to have a little sit down in it, right under a chairlift. It's not too crowded.
Watched the rugby in the Irish pub last evening, bit like being in a pub on a council estate in Feltham, but I'll be back for the England/Ireland clash.

Scored some fresh snow at Schladming this morning, was worth getting the early lift up.

What ho! from cloudy Kitzbuhel. Cloudy and very warm morning cleared to a great afternoon, but clouds are now back, and they don't look snowy (not that I'm an expert cloud reader). Snow very soft, cover holding up well, but some grass and rocks here and there. Main resort runs open but looking pretty dreary. For a change, the best conditions are to be found on the upper slopes and some fresh snow would be welcome.

Another cloudless sky in Kitzbuhel. Hard pistes softening rapidly. Raining in town last night, no sign of fresh snow up top. According to the bloke who runs the pension I'm in (who as a native and ex ski racer should know) the snow is good for another 3/4 weeks, more or less whatever happens. Par for the course in Kitzbuhel, I reckon.

Skied in Kaprun yesterday, pistes were very compact but its so warm at the moment, by lunch time you may as well have waterskis on. Very wet, heavy knee breaking slush. Over on Schmittenhöhe valley runs taking a bashing, looking patchy and worn.

DAB, Skied St Johann/Alpendorf and over to Wagrain and the pistes were in pretty good nick considering the temperatures. A bit wet and heavy lower down but on top it was fine! going back on Friday to do some more of the same or maybe pick up my friends and drive over to Zauchensee.
I'll give Flachau a miss as I find the slopes quite boring to be honest!

Samerberg Sue, Zauchensee is my favourite place to ski here! I would join you if I am allowed(!) next time, just let me know! Have to go to Italy for some races or I would be there like a shot  Flachau is a mare at the moment you are right.

DAB, I'll keep you posted as it all depends on my friends and the weather - forecast is for heavy snow at the end of the week, so we may just stay in St Jo/Wagrain as I can feel my way blindfolded around them!
I'm in St Jo from 20th March staying at the Berghof for a week. My annual week of indulgence and spoiling. I'm on my own them and you'd be more than welcome company - as would Ben or any other sH in that neck of the woods at the time!

richmond, online forecast says sleet/drizzle this week; so you may get some snow on the slopes.
I'm there a week on friday and hoping I need to pack the powder planks.

Crossing my fingers for this warm spell to run out of steam by Thursday and revert back to winter for a while at least, as some of the forecasts are saying, we're off Saturday to Koenigsleiten and hoping for some good conditions.

Mosha Marc, thanks for the thought, but I'm on my way home afer a sneaky weekend on the slopes. Although the weather conditions weren't great - too warm - the skiing was very enjoyable, as long as you followed the sun around. Skiing down to the bottom of the Fleckalmbahn this morning was surprisingly, good right to the bottom.

Deliaskis, have fun, Koenigsleiten a great place. I had my second ski trip there and some good memories. I hope this warm weather breaks too as I'm in Gastein from Sat.

Schladming : Sunny day today, a tad colder too. Was maybe 10cm of fresh snow higher up, though on a pretty rough base in most places. Snow best described as variable. Forecast is for another drop in temps and staying colder for the next week or so and snowfall for the next few days. Sounds too good to be true, so probably is. Currently clouding over a little, next snow forecast later tonight.

oldsnowy, thank you! We were also in Serfaus this time last year and thought it was a great resort, always good to have more recommendations of good places to go, especially as the OH had an accident after a few days which put paid to the rest of the week's skiing for him - and it wasn't so much fun for me either by myself! We're going to make the most of it this time!

mountainaddict, Tried Ski Amadé yet? Snow is pretty good just about every where really and as you say more forecast over the next few days.
I'm off to Zauchensee tomorrow if the vis is OK, otherwise it will be another day, another dollar on the St Jo/Wagrain slopes.
Get in touch with Flangesax and DAB for an update on the Schladming/Amadé areas.
Don't get too bogged down with heights as it is a completely different ball game over here in the eastern Alps compared with the western end in France.
What time are you landing? The weekend exodus from Munich can cause a few problems especially on the A9, A99 and A8, any time from 15:00 onwards. Most of us work from 07:30/08:00 to 16:00/18:00 from Monday to Thursday in order to have a short day on Friday!

cathy, another thumbs up for serfaus. there in 08 and its a fantastic resort. just watch the prices in some places especially for drink.
its a long town which comes to a dead end on the gondola side. we had a drink on the opposite side of town and worked our way towards the gondola end and a round was approx 25eu when we started, by the time we got to the other side of town it was 50eu for the same round!

benpudney, Saalbach has cooled down a lot according to the resort website. There is some fresh powder and more snow is predicted over the next week with temperatures well below zero  I'm off to Saalbach on the 13th. Fingers crosed

Pretty wild weather today. Was planning on skiing the Edelgreiss off piste route off the Dachstein glacier. Drove up to Ramsau, 1500m, at 8:30 and it was a complete white out blizzard with strong winds, around -12. We were planning on some ladder climbing and walking an interesting traverse at around 2700m, so decided that was a no no. Headed to back down to schaldming / planai. A heavy snow shower strong winds made for a cold start. Not much fresh powder around so drove down to Zauchansee. Was snowing steadily when we got there, headed up to the back bowls and what a wonderful surprise, 15 - 20cm of fresh light powder. Vis was not great but as soon as we hit the tree line no problem. Loads of untracked to play in, so a great afternoon. Seemed to be a day of heavy showers, very localised as to where or will get more snow. Felt very cold, probably as it's been pretty warm recently, still some showers about.
