Ischgl opens for its 23-24 season on Thursday 23rd November with 112km of slopes open from day one.
It means it jumps to the top of the table for terrain open so far, overtaking fellow Tirol ski areas and Otztal neighbours Solden, which as reached 100km of slopes open and Obergurgl with 70km of slopes.
Ischgl says that 32 lifts will be running and that the powder snow from November storms is lying up to 60cm (two feet) deep.
It appears to be one of the best starts to the season in quite a few year, with Ischgl often needing to produce large amounts of snow through its massive snowmaking arsenal from the start of the season, that has not been so much of an issue this autumn.
The resort with its cross border ski area to Samnuan in Switzerland often has one of the three largest ski areas open in late November and early December, often fighting areas like Zermatt/Cervinia to post the most early season terrain open in Europe and the world.
Ischgl's opening weekend will see the Top of the Mountain Opening Concert with Demi Lovato take place on Saturday 25th November.
