Sitter, Could be talking about Madlochbahn, sometimes a 5 minute queue here at peak times, but thats because they make this slow to ensure that the run down to Zug isnt too busy I think.

| Zug to Lech chair has a queue? Can't say I've ever come across one (4 Winters in the Arlberg), depends on what time you venture out to do the Weiss Ring I guess. |
I've never seen a queue at the Zugerbergbahn in many years, and would suggest anyone wanting to do the Weisse Ring starts at Zurs and head up the madloch 2 man rickety chair lift and ski 33 into Zug. Prolly going to be still some "squeaky" snow up there even now. Don't forget to stop off for some liquid refreshment at the bar at the top of the Zugerberg. BUT to start with I'd suggest a couple of runs on Trittkopf, early in the day these should be well worth doing, and runs 6/7/7A usually hold the snow colder and longer.

theskibob, Did the White Ring last Thursday, great day, no crowds and snow fantastic. The north facing runs up around Trittkopf in the afternoon were in great shape. An early blast down Muggengrat and then up to Madloch on the 2 man, then down to Zug..........never saw a queue all day. Fantastic day.
Grizwald - The ski guided day we had was the best day of ther week, he found us spring snow all day up to 4pm, just fantastic, expensive but worth every €! Maroi, HGinterer Rendl, Rossfall, Shimmelegg all in great condition still. New snow Friday morning and Kapall/ Schindlerkar and main Schindler/ Rauz run all with 3-4" new poweder on was superb too. Best week I've had late season for many years.

*rages and fumes with jealousy!!!!!!!!!!!*
I'm sooooooooooo tempted to fly or drive out to Lech/St Anton or Stuben next week. After the Easter crowds have gone, and in time for the sale at Strolz! Got a friend (Old ski-bum/BASI 2) who's going out there sort of the same time and needs a ski-buddy to get the best out of Stuben and Zurs' pistes and OP.

theskibob, Do it.......all the sales havent started yet, Jennwein etc have sale starting at end of Easter, more importantly its cooler now than last week apparently (our friend from Munich has just gone back out its so good) and snow expected end of this week apparently! Suggest if you are looking for great snow you get in touch with Torben (the guide I mentioned on other St Anton related post, PM me if you want his details) he'll take you to some great places, never skid on such good off-piste this time of year befor the spring snow is just fantastic at the moment, picnics for lunch, long days, couldnt be in better nick out there.

Markymark29, can you PM me Torbens contact info please?
I leave on Friday for a week with the family, how's the off piste around Stuben? The big face back down to the village had ava'd down to bare earth this time last year so we didn't really do much/any OP, looking for a bit more this year!

What are some of the quieter blue runs in sa and surrounding areas?
I'm fine on most stuff but need some uncrowded runs for the missus.
Also as much as I'm fine on crowded runs, I also find it annoying to deal with those that are going at speed out of control.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Is this a realistic review of the place:
"My biggest problem with St Anton, though, is that the place feels relatively run down when compared to Lech and Ischgl, yet equally as expensive for in village eating and drinking and almost as expensive for lodging. Whilst the apres-ski at the Mooserwirt and the Krazy Kangeruh is legendary, it is spoilt by overcrowding and more worryingly by British lager louts running around totally trashed, half naked, covered in blood from falling over and fighting and looking for more trouble at 4.30 in the afternoon. Frankly they would be better off in Blackpool or Benidorm. Back in town the apres-ski is very English to the point you could be in any club in any town back home. "
Doesn't sound that good.
I've seen it described as a "c o c k fest" and a building site on snow with men whistling and leering at the few ladies about.
Sounds like a night out in a small town in the UK  |
100% endorse all of the above.

Just booked to go to St Anton this weekend!! 
Staying in St A, but most prolly get across to Zurs asap in the mornings. Some precipitation (small amount) precedes a light fall of snow on Sat/Sun with clear skies forecast, just in time to freshen pistes but not enough for better OP. May take the fatty skis, I'm not too sure, as I expect slush-puppy on lower slopes.
Ohhhhhhhhhh....................... I can't wait to get my lips/teeth around a plate of Spare Ribs at the Hospitz Alm restaurant, swilled down with copious vodka fieges!! Heaven!

Well...in the end Saturday was a white out and Sunday marginally better but at least there wa sfresh powder.
Whilst the skiing was good, due to Easter it seemed like there were mainly families in the resort so it wasn't exactly big on apres ski!
Also, as nice as the village is, it seems pretty hard to find any decent food around, the only busy places were the pizza place, run by Aussies or English, and the tapas place - hardly authentic Austrian
