I made a promise to myself that €500 was enough on a pass for the season... but now maybe a cheeky little €30 may come into play for an early one! (Passes don't kick in until the end of Nov).
I recon Flachau are going for an earlier than planned opening too... they are blasting away on the blowers tonight from top to bottom.... no messing!
I took these from my patio door - sorry about the camerea shake, no tripod at hand!

Flangesax, looks great in Radstadt. I'm in Obertauern in Feb. Bit off subject, but I have a couple of Friends arriving in Radstadt by Train in Feb. Whats their best way of getting up the hill to Obertauern? Presume Taxi, but could be a bus.Appreciate your answer.
Cheers

Reiteralm announced today that they will have an early opening around the weekend October, 26 (Austrian national holiday). I guess, Schladming will follow suit. It is the same situation as two years ago. It was perfect skiing then. And much fewer people than at the overcrowded glacier resorts (it seems that Germans go only to the glaciers around October, November ).

Just like two years ago, Turracher Hohe seems to be the first one to open this Saturday.
Schladming resorts may follow next week-end which is a three-day-holiday in Austria.

DB, i'd tend to agree. I spoke with my local chap in Bad Gastein this morning and they're predicting 15 degrees next week. Not good.

Looking out from my balcony I can see somebody has put turns in all the way down from the Galzig to the village..... mid Oct...!!

flangesax, what's the cheeky €30 you're referring to mate? I spotted that if you buy the Super Ski Card before the 4/12 you pay €510. From what I can see (on the website the passes run from 7.11.09 till 02.05.10)

Sleipnir, I think that the start date are pretty flexible.
The offical date on a super card form last year was 25/11.. 2007/08 was 10.11 This year was sposed to be around the 25th too... but it has rolled back a considerable amount!
What I meant was that even though I am a  I am not prepared to fork out a day ski pass before my season pass kicks in!
Super passes are €510 - but when you are a local you can reap the massive benefits!

twoodwar, if they are coming from Salzburg airport then get a taxi transfer - its around €41 pp return which works out less than the train/taxi, plus its quicker.

Flangesax, no they are into Munich, and Train to Radstadt. I assume its taxi for around 20 Euro pp ?

Friends have already been touring in Austria near Innsbruck, the snow looks great.. probably some föhn coming next week though. But at least it was a sign of a coming winter.

Samerberg Sue, I can't deal with this negativity!! I thrive on enthusiasm. People must burn coal and take to the skies immediately and get this global dimming thing going on

Here's a view of the bottom stations of the cable-cars in Fieberbrunn yesterday. Not really enough snow for skiing yet and no signs that they are thinking of opening the lifts (I couldn't tell whether the snow cannons had been running - don't think so).

RandyAlp Nice pics - like your website too, the "Deep Powder At The Tauplitz" post reminds of some deep days I had in and around schladming last season. Can't wait to get out again, maybe in a couple of weeks, fingers crossed.

Thanks for your kind feedback. Those days in Styria last February were really epic. It was dumping like crazy. I am hoping for a repetition of similar dumps since I have ordered some pretty interesting skis for these kind of dumps.

RandyAlp, nice pics, I skied this resort two years ago, renting skis in the shop which is in your last picture
Planai, Hinterstoder, Hochkönig and Turracher Höhe opened this week-end. Unbelievable that Turrach as a non-glacier resort finished the previous season only five months ago!
