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 :-)

So hope the snow is good, but it is very early season.

What should not be missed on slopes and off Cool

I have never been out so early in the season before. Can only take one set of skis - Slalom or fat boys. I do not want any big holes in the bottom from early conditions as back out in Jan for 2 weeks and then have 2 months in Canada. Plenty of time later so I presume I stay on-piste so early and miss the rocks.

Jake43, have you checked out the Zillertal web cams and snow reports? There is masses of snow and it is really brass-monkey temperatures out there. More snow coming in all of the weekend and next week as well!

Jake43, I guess much depends on what you like to ski and what you like in the apres department. Plenty of people here who know Mayrhofen, so give a bit of a clue.

Jake43, be careful though - that grass under the snow can do fatal damage to your skis! Laughing Remember the cover may not be that thick. Just had a text message from a friend in Hochfügen - great skiing but fookin freezing!

: In no particular order:

- The main Mayrhofen area (Penken) - great skiing up towards Lanersbach (and bach!)
- The Harakiri black run - Austria's steepest. NB. Deadly in icy conditions..... Skullie (See Youtube videos Laughing )
- A trip out to Zillertal Arena - lovely area. We had a great powder day there.
- Alpine coaster (ie bobsleigh) at Zillertal Arena.
- A trip out to the Kaltenbach slopes - we found the area to be very quiet.
- A trip out to Hintertux - fantastic snow and amazing views from the top.
- A guided visit deep inside the glacier at Hintertux - fantastic experience. Book in at the portakabin next to the top station of the Jumbo lift (ie very top of the glacier).
- An apres beer or three at the Hohenhaus, Hintertux - Next to the bottom station. Our favourite apres venue. Anywhere. Ever. Very Happy
- Nice pizzas in the dome shaped place next to the Hotel Elizabeth (near the train station).
- Nice Chinese food - Just the one place in town.

Have fun - which you undoubtedly will Smile !!

Chasseur, Its Daughter that is going taking 350 Uni students so I guess the Apres will be quite important.

Advanced Skiing so that Harakiri sounds like a challenge.

Samerberg Sue, Trying to persuade her to use the old skis and not take the new ones but you know how it is. When you have some new ones you just have to use them & I am worried on an opening weekend they will get wrecked.

It looks cold all week too although some sun and snow. She however used to Canada so I do not think she will notice it too much.

Eh? Did I miss something?

Shed loads of Apres options. Several good, noisey, lively bars at the top of the Penken lift for the end of the day - a good option whilst waiting for the download queues to shrink.

Try the Ice Bar at foot of Penken lift - always lively for early apres. Later, try the Sport Hotel for Brian Cristopher, or Scotland Yard or maybe Mo's for a slightly lower volume and chance to chat. There must be many, many others.

I really liked the zell am ziller area and the hinted tux glacier. +1 for the ice bar if that's your thing, I also liked Mo's.

Dinner at Hotel Perauer is particularly good.

The Hexen Kessl in Tux for a few beers apres.

The Schneekar Hutte at top of Schneekar Chair for mid morning gluwein or lunch.

Pizza at Grill Haus Alm next to Vans Park

Ribs or Tiroler Grossl at Vogelsnest (on way to Eghalm)

Wot mountainaddict said.

Echo the recommendations about the Ice Bar and the Sport Hotel. Definitely try Harakiri, it's not for the faint-hearted. No moguls on it though.

Oh and a trip to Hintertux on a clear day is an absolute MUST. Don't go if it's snowing/flat light.
