Off to Soll in mid Jan. Anybody know what snow is like there now? Looks good on J2ski reports and webcams, but I know the resort is fairly low so I'm hoping that what is there now does not melt. Hoping when we go that there will be enough snow to ski back to Gansleit.

Soll snow?

Phil could be worth cultivating, though, think about being able to plan for perfect conditions 2 years in advance !!

The snow is pretty reliable in the Kitzbuhleralpen area of Tyrol, one reason why I have gone to Niederau for the last 43 years.
Typically, Soll in January, will offer about 90/100cm of snow on the Upper slopes, although last Jan, it had a depth of over 2m. The valley level depth is normally 30/65cm.
Soll almost shares Niederau's advantageous north facing slopes, facing SSE, but not quite the same tree snow accumulation/protection.
Looking pretty good for your dates. I will be visiting there in each of the 3 weeks following you.
Ski well.

Skied many times in the Skiwelt,the area is well covered by snow cannons.You've got no worries, as we skied there March 2020 when it was a bad season & very warm, the pistes were well mentained especially on the Hochsoll side.
It's a fantastic area with 279km pistes to choice from,you'll neverget bored.
Just makesure you know the bus times, as it's base station is a decent walk into the village

Futuristic skiing, indeed! :-)
