Weather this season

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 11:09:37 GMT

Having seen photos and read reports from people on here, and been out to Tirol myself not so long ago, I think its fair to say this has NOT been a good season for snow in the Alps.

I had a brilliant week mid Jan in St Moritz, and I am sure people can tell of trips where the conditions were perfect, but on the whole I am pretty sure that it will be regarded as a poor season for the snow (thus far, as April could well yet turn out to be cracking).

Hopefully that means 2011/12 will be cold, snowy and a record one in terms of snowfall. If I could have last years snow all over again, I'd snatch your hand off.

Happy planning for next seasons trips everyone. Not sure yet where I will end up, but 3 things are for sure: it wont be Mayrhofen, it wont be Niederau, and it wont be the 3 valleys.

Bon ski
Gut fahrt and all that

:lol: Gentlemen, choose your colours..

I think we have narrowed it down to somewhere in Austria (we have never been there yet), somewhere on the Sella Ronda or Whistler.

The driest winter in 60 years over here. I think I will take even an average season in terms of snow next year. Anything will be better.

We have been very lucky, in what has been a dreadful year for snow. Obergurgl in December was great with our first real experience of skiing powder during the white week. Andorra in February (the first week) was clinging on by its fingernails. A thin hard pack and lots of ice however, bluebird days and still skiing the mountain. Serre Chevalier in March, great snow up the mountain suffering lower down in the afternoons but you could still ski right to base camp, apart from Briancon of course.

Phew Lucky or what :D
