I never thought I would be happy to see the snow stop falling in a resort I am about to head to :shock: :shock: :shock: .

For once, it is a case of too much snow. Heading to Soll in 11 days and the skiing in resort has been extremely limited in recent weeks because of the amount of snow that has fallen with top of mountain closed as well as links to other villages. Not much fun if you are there at the moment :evil: . I am guessing that the piste workers will welcome a break from the intense work of trying to get stuff open.

Now I am hoping for a couple of weeks of low temperatures and clear blue skies :thumbup: .

A little greedy perhaps :oops: .

Wanderer - i'm off to Söll the week after you!! Where are you staying? If you do a snow report, don't make it too good, we don't want everyone knowing what a little gem Söll is!!! -)

Staying at the Hotel Tirol in the village. I have been to Soll several times and really like it. Yes, it is low but has probably the best snow management team in the alps. Even in snow-drought years, I have found the slopes to be good. One negative is the relatively short length of many runs but there are so many, this is not a big deal. Runs to the valleys will give enough length for anybody - perhaps to be avoided at the end of the day but often forgotten as sources of excellent long runs earlier in the day.

The village is really nice - compact, friendly and with several good pubs and reasonable prices.

It is a gem and it always surprises me that it is not more popular. Funnily enough I think it has "fallen out of fashion" which is just bonkers.
