I can't extend my budget to allow for all this summer skiing malarky!... We have just bought the Dachstein Summer Cards... loads of inclusive lifts and pools and archery and a heavily discounted ski jump course... I might go for that...but may be a bit big for the dress code!

Samerberg Sue, Hi Sue!!It´s odd you never show on my fb chat? I hope you have a wonderful time in France, are you going to Provence? The lifts are only closed for 2 weeks, so yes LB has to train on the Dachstein, but he´s only doing tech training so gradient isn´t a problem  xxx Debs

What I don't understand why they don't do annual maintenance in August-September, when the glacier doesn't hold snow.
Why shut for 2 weeks when you can run the place, and then shut the place again because its all moraine left.

So exactly how do you repair/revise a Glacier?
Does it involve chainsaws, JCB's, bulldozers, a really big freezer?

Bob, I think it´s more to see that all the cable cars and lifts are working to proper h&s spec, with what happened up there a few years ago can you blame them????

Whitegold, sorry for the delay, no skiing today, weather closed in and very windy, not looking too great for the week end, but the snow was holding up, just poor viz.

Whitegold, it´s a shocker, +10 at 3000m tomorrow. We gave up in Mölltal today, rain at 3000m, switching base to Zermatt, fingers crossed , need to get some decent training in .

DAB, TJ & some of GB team have just been in Saas Fee for 10 days. Snow conditions pretty good, just had bad vis and high winds so missed a few days training. Also did 2 days DH & SG training in Zermatt with Russian team. Conditions there good enough for some excellent speed raining.
The weather this time of year can be very iffy so you may lose some days as the lifts might not open. Hope L gets some decent training in.

Plugboy, hey! Hope you and TJ are ok! Packing the boys off to Zermatt tomorrow with their trainer, the snow in Mölltal was some of the best they had at this time of the year, but the viz and winds were horrific:( Looked at the long term forecast...it´s a gamble , maybe see you out there?

Here is a good Summer skiing report from Ski Info.
Ten glaciers are currently open in the European Alps.
Temps are high.
Hintertux and Zermatt probably have the most open terrain.

Whitegold, thanks for that, got a bit of a better feeling now, you off anywhere?

Hey Guys!
I actually just got home from the glacier a couple of days ago and it was EPIC! I have to admit it was b bit chilly compared to Wyoming this time of year, but my wife and I had a great time. The tram might have J Hole beat and that is saying something... Let me know if anybody else has been to Kitzsteinhorn as of late, would love to swap some stories. My wife and I had a couple wild nights with the locals!

Anyone else remember the old baum bar in the centre of Kaprun before it burnt down? Must get back to the Kitzsteinhorn, return visit long over due.
