Hintertux gets my vote for early season skiing. Also had some great late Nov/early Dec skiing at Pitztal (glacier and Rifflsee area if open) although it is quiet on the apres front compared to the Zillertal!

Bode Swiller, Not booked it yet. Need to see if I can get some pennies together. Waiting for the official nod from HWMBO.

That's my last memory of the place too. Shimmy, it has to be Tux.

Shimmy Alcott, Bode Swiller, looks set to dump big time over the weekend. Temperatures down at my lowly elevation (800m) are forecast to be under 9°C and p!ssing down here. So Tux and the others should cop a huge restocking of the white fluffy stuff! Some slight compensation for a miserable free weekend this week will be the chance to ski next week!

Is he demonstrating the new Ryanair economy package?

You know it makes sense.

Bode Swiller, 
it's actually DG in the hat - you know how keen he is to get the scoop, he'll do anything to be the first

No, I didn't say farce! Perhaps I should have put a hyphen in there after all.

Shimmy Alcott, I think the "hinter" in Hintertux means behind funnily enough. There, back on track?

Bode Swiller, so it does, so never off topic at all

The folk shown in that photo would fill only half the train at Tignes - and (in overall terms) its not a big queue when you consider that the funicular train climbs about 3500 feet vertical in 5 minutes.
From the valley to the top of the glacier (even with that queue) would take a comparable time to the ascent at Hintertux. In Tignes you need 2 lifts and in Hintertux 3....

Loads of the white fluffy stuff up there right now - 95cms according to the web site and still snowing heavily.
Watching the Panorama pictures on TV this morning seems to be dumping all over - Lech-Zürs is completely white, so it is down to quite a low level as well. Bloody freezing here at 800m, but only raining cats and dogs unfortunately. The lower level stuff won't last but it is nice to see it building up nicely now.
