 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone,
since I'm spending a week in the area (from 25/02 to 03/03, sleeping in Kirchberg) I'll be posting a few snow and weather updates.
Today, Sunday 26 February, it's been snowing quite a lot (mixed with rain in town). Forecasts said it would snow yesterday and just be cloudy today, but little by little the snow built up until this afternoon I had to stop skiing early (around 3pm). As I'm writing there's a couple of centimeters of fresh snow on the ground in Kirchberg; looks a bit wet here, but probably not on top 
There were not many people on the slopes, except for some crowded patches here and there (especially around Kitz). I explored all the closer areas (Pengelstein, Steinberg-kogel, Ehrenbach-hoehe, Hahnenkamm...) and found the slopes quite nice, interesting curves, lots of trees. It was cloudy, with low visibility over 1700-1800, but honestly I think the people who got scared and stayed at home really missed something. Below that altitude the visibility was quite good, and the snow good to great. I found it mostly icy at the bottom, but there was enough powder on top to allow for good grip. In the afternoon it got icier (a bit dangerously at the end, that's also why I stopped) and slushy on top, especially down below of course. During the whole day it was not too cold, ideal temperature I'd say, with a few gusts of wind here and there.
All in all I'd say this seems like a great week to be here. Not that the area needed any more snow, but today's has surely been welcome.
If the weather gets better from tomorrow, as forecasts suggest, it will be amazing 
I'll post more updates in the coming days, ciao!

Hi Peter, glad to know you're coming... The place is so nice, really, can't wait to explore all of it and the SkiWelt area.
The snow conditions are indeed amazing for this time of year. Just hope it doesn't get icier.
When you arrive I'll actually be moving to Saalbach for a second week...
Trying to make the most of this gorgeous season - just in case the world does end in December
Let me know if you need any tips,
ciao!
