Answer - Yes, Just back from our week in Austria. We toured the Tirol and Arlberg with our base being in Kuhtai. It was snowing in Kuhtai when we arrived on Saturday 27th August with 3 inches at 2000m. Obergurgl Solden and Hochgurgl had the same. This was a first for me "snowing in August" :D

It snowing for me. Watched a lot of You Tube vids of St Anton and cant wait for 3rd March. Until then I will enjoy the med sun from Friday and the Thailand Sun in Jan.

Errrm, Alistair, that looks remarkably like the conditions as portrayed on 9th May 2011. Incredible coincidence.

January is ski time Stewart, and you're off to Thailand. I will never forgive you for this. Your punishment will be the Schindler Chair.

Dave,
Should of posted the picture with the data, will post later, together with some photos of the rest of the week under the Austria thread.

The weather was freak, Saturday afternoon between approx 2-4pm. The weather returned to normal summer conditions after this.

This will become clear following my further posts 8)

Just came back from the Italian lakes and it was a freakishly hot 36 degrees! The locals said there was normally snow on the mountain tops this time of year but I was up there in a t-shirt, sweating like a wrestler.

A good covering in Selva Gardena as well :)

:twisted: Everyone at work thought I was nuts this morning when I kept going on about it snowing. They just don't get it, poor people who like going to sunny places for a vacation and just lying on the beach getting something called a "tan" :wink:

Overnight the webcams from Solden and Hochsolden have transformed from summer to winter! Splendid - much colder there today and temperatures falling now in the weather forecast. Can't wait...

Not really - I just found groups of 80 or so SCGB'ers together somewhat different from the more usual skiers (note use of "more usual" instead of normal :lol: such care about language does me proud).
Synchronised pre-ski warm up sessions with Herr Grupenfuehrer leading was a sight worth seeing and did attract crowds to observe and learn.
:D
Anyway this thread is about first snow falls mustn't wibble off topic.
