Thanks to both Sued & Zell Belle, have bookmarked all to keep up to date for my trip on March the 5th

Has anyone skied on what I call ice marbles, it was in Cortina some years ago on a north facing piste.

At the top it was OK but as you went down it got worse & extremely difficult to ski on, it looked like the surface snow had rolled into small balls & frozen solid so the whole surface of the run was covered in what looked like white marbles.

Haven't seen it before or since & never wish to see it again, only tip I can give is to avoid it & its the worse piste condition I have experienced in my 16 trips.

Only been twice to Zell am See. The first time was two years ago for New Year and we had a great time and I fell in love with the place. I know about the Schmitten webcam (watch it most days)and do you know Crazy Daisy also has a live webcam. I was spotted by someone at home who knew we were there ordering a drink from the bar - scary :roll:

I fell in love with Zell am See too, have been 4 times now. I know where the live streaming is on the slopes and almost texted my son at home to have a look as I would be on! Mind you I can ski ok, until someone watches me and I just know I would have been on my backside! We had pizza at Crazy Daisys so I don't know if the webcam is in the restaurant too. On our last day we stood at Schnapps Hans, overlooking Kaprun- I could have just stayed there forever. Gorgeous! And now I am back looking at concrete again- just doesn't seem right really!

Sued could you post links or info for the web cams on Zell.
Thanks. :wink:
