Thanks Tony, was thinking Mayerhofen but am concerned about its low level, would conditions be good here during February??

I skied last week in Feb this year when snow was notoriously bad across most of the alps and there was nothing closed, nothing we couldnt ski, and plenty of snow up at Hintertux a 20 min bus ride away if worse comes to the worse.
Its only low in resort at 690m, most skiing is above 1500m to be fair. I'd say you'd find better snow in Mayrhofen than Soll, Niederau, Kitzbuhel or Saalbach this time of year.
Having said that, I've skied the arse out of Mayrhofen and probably won't go back, if at all, in the next 5 years at least. Cracking place though.

2) Niederau
3) (joint) Soll & Saalbach
5) Mayrhofen

Mountain

It's a bummer when facts get in the way, innit?

Rain ..... No rain here just a warm summer breeze and a glass of Rose :wink:

Assuming you are at home, the forecast says you will be getting it later in the weekend :twisted:

Seriously, I hope not.

It is not nice sitting here with constant heavy showers all day. I am at a bbq tomorrow, so I hope it improves a bit overnight.

Not really. I'm not Bovvd. I've been to N and it was crap. I've been to M 5 times and the snow has been good each time. I haven't been to Saalbach as a mate goes every year and informs me (and shows me photos) of how poor snow coverage has been.
I can't imagine the difference Mr Mac quotes are particularly big in terms of snow depth.
Anyway, Bovvd.
