Generally good skiing at Auffach. I was looking down at Inner Alpbach on Wednesday, and the snow is holding up well. There is a general thaw on, but you should just get your week in OK. Start early.
Last time I was in Alpbach, I met with an ex-burgermeister, (mayor), Herr Blettszacher, to discuss a bit of Wildschoenau history ~ a very friendly and knowledgeable fellow.
It was a previous Alpbach burgermeister that determined Tyrol's part in the Marshall Plan, (after the second world war). This lead directly to Niederau building the first mountain lift in Austria.

Skied there yesterday, good on the tops, not so good at village level. Pistes management is not as good as here, but is still better than most places. The key is to start early ~ be on the first lift.

Looking forward to meeting up, Swell. There is a good weekend ahead, with a SkiCross event in the Race Arena on Sunday, part of the Austrian 10 race series. And if there are any ladies in the party, they can try different skis all day on Monday, for free!

The snow is still holding out, but may be a bit reduced by the end of the week, so may go home ~ to snow!

Careful, don't break the speed limit .....

You are one to talk, Andy! 120kph! :wink:

That's me out, I was thrown out of school when I was 15. Advised to get a job where I could use my hands, as I clearly had no future.

Best thing that could have happened to me. Well, among the best things.....
