 Poster: A snowHead

What do people think of the village and quality of grooming on the skiwelt. I have to say the grooming from the top of the hartkaiser seemed s h i t e this year imho. Lots of lumps and poorly conditioned.

Isn't that a good thing?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

bad for me as my right knee was playing up and I found the whole area worse than a giant mogul field. I think i realise I like groomed areas best. I think i even prefer ice and crust to lumps.

When I've been there before I've generally found everything pretty well groomed, but after fresh snowfall things will get mogulled - nothing you can do about it. Same on steep slopes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I really like Ellmau, had a great time.
We went over New Year, when it was relatively mild, and there was only a thin base of snow, so it got cut up very easily. Lots of mounds of sugary snow across the whole area - worse at the bottom of Hohe Salve towards Soll (51 slope I think), it just made it all a lot harder work, but still far from bad.

IME of the Ski Welt, the grooming is good. First thing in the morning, all pistes seem perfectly groomed.
Later on is a different matter, particularly at busy times, but unless they are going to run the piste bashers during the day, there isn't much they can do about that. Although I have met piste bashers during the day a couple of times in the Ski Welt - including once on the run under the Hartkaiser funicular last year.
The village of Ellmau seemd quite pleasant, although I stayed a little outside the village towards Going last year, and this year only skied the Ski Welt on a couple of days while staying in Kirchdorf.

I would agree with alex_heney. I have always found the grooming in the Skiwelt acceptable - good, though obviously it isn't always perfect everywhere.
