Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Flachau in December

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Thinking of going to Flachau this December, but am worried about potential lack of snow,

I would actually prefer Ischgl, but getting to Flachau via public transport is easier.

Does anyone have experience going to Salzburger Sportwelt area that time of year?

ysb33r, I'll be interested in the answer as I'm buying a rental apartment there in the next few weeks and could be after a cheeky trip myself before the new year and the rental season really starts.

ysb33r, Never had a problem and we were skiing there at the end of November the last couple of years. Season ticket runs from the beginning of December (usually the first weekend) to end of April.

ysb33r, Really shouldn't be an issue in December, loads of snow making if mother nature doesn't do the business. Schladming down the road has opened in Oct or Nov for the last 5 years since I've been coming here. The last time I looked a week or so ago there was still some snow at the top of Flachau.Samerberg Sue, I thought the ski amade & SalzburgSuper season pass started in Nov and run through til May?

waynos, No, first weekend of December as a rule - I had to buy a day ticket in November, even though I had my season ticket in my pocket Sad

flangesax, Did it? So why did Ange and I have to buy day tickets at the Kitz? I had the season ticket and so did she.

ysb33r, see whatever month it starts, December is more than safe Toofy Grin

Someone recommended Neustift in Stubaital today, but my brother reckons he's been there in December before and they had no snow, so everyone was up on the Stubai glacier.

Choices, choices ...

Thanks for the feedback on Flachau though, I am a bit more confident about going there.

If there is no snow in Flachau then most of Austria will be bare or unbearably busy.

ysb33r, I always start my season in Flachau, never had a problem so far. Ski Amade has the best snow-making system, if they do not have snow, then no other (non glacier) resorts in Austria either.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

ysb33r, Other things to consider... (although Flachau will be safe), jump on the bus to Flachau Winkl / Zauchensee... !!

Samerberg Sue, Just had a chat with Ange... she definitely used her Salzburger Super Card for the Kitz in November as we would never pay for a day pass!.... too tight for splashing the cash aboot like that!

The pass started from the 6th November last season!.... I hope it does again this year too!

flangesax, It was earlier I think and probably not with Ange then - who cares now, I know that December is covered which is what the original post was all about! rolling eyes

Obertauern Is my choice for first week dec, done it about 3 or 4 times now. Obertauern can be absolutely fantastic, usually has good snow cover, little or no risk..

I am pretty torn now. I can get reasonable accommodation in both Flachau and Stubaital. hHaving never been to either and wanting to go in December it is becoming a difficult choice.

A lot of good things heard about Flachau here, and judging from the piste map a lot of blue & reds above Flachau & Flachauwinkl.

Stubaital, on the other hand, has all of that skiiing on the glacier as well as some otehr smaller pistes. It is also marginally cheaper, but I am concerned that crowds might be high in the week just before December

ysb33r, Note that from Flachau you can ski over to Wagrain, another quite large ski resort, or from the Winkl go over to Zauchansee which again is another whole resort, with some very good off piste. Don't know about Stubaital so can't really comment. From Flachau Kaprun glacier or Dachstein glacier are possible. Obertauern is only 30mins drive away (not sure on buses) not glacier but higher, mostly above tree line, which ain't so great when vis is bad. I can't imagine the snow would be that bad in Dec that you'd need to hunt out glaciers if you went to Flachau.
