Hi guys

I am contemplating of Hinterglemm mid december but concerened about there being enough snow, especially this year as we are having unusually high temps

Do you think there could be risk going there so early? or do you think I should go to somewhere above 1850 m just to be safe?

I have never skied Austria before and quite fancy it.

Your valued opinion as ever is much appreciated.

If you are concerned, consider switching to a resort such as Obergurgl :D

Hi Bandit, I did think of that but the deal I found was really good for Hinterglemm so now doing home work before I do take a gamble :-)

This is the snow record for Saalbach, for the last four seasons. Hinterglemm is higher up the valley. Readings are for village level/mountain level:
2007/08 ~ 34cm / 144cm

2008/09 ~ 38cm / 104cm

2009/2010 ~ 11cm / 36cm

2010/2011 ~ 38cm / 65cm

Hence on every year, in the past 4 years, there was snow.
