Hey, sorry for the late reply--been out of service for a bit. Norway is absolutely a bucket-list trip, but I think this trip will pretty much be an Italy and Alps affair. My friend that I'm staying and skiing with runs a farm, so we're trying to stay within driving distance in case something comes up or the weather changes suddenly.Quote:

And first summer days in the Northern valleys with 25 + degrees. Late March....oh well. Climate change.
I spent my first season in Ellmau in the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental of Austria in 1993/94.Quote:

It was t-shirt weather in the village, well in to the high teens C.
Up high it was still snowing and we enjoyed great conditions through to mid-April.
Ellmau is between 820m and 1,525m.
One isolated example I know, but not much has changed in my experience.
Some seasons are early to early.
Others are late to late.
Every once in a while we get early to late and unfortunately late to early.

Hopefully Thursday.

I'm heading there on Saturday for a week with the kids. I'd like to ski Scharek to Sportgastein, conditions permitting, sans the kids. My homework says she aint the crevassy type, but if I stop posting, I've been crevassed and you cant have my stuff.

Speaking of crevasses... what's the Gran Paradiso like crack-wise? Do people rope up for april ski descents on the normal route from the refugio emanuelle??
@banzai, ill be in Obertauern for a week with my kids from saturday. We'll no doubt hit the möllertaler gletscher for a day. I'll have any ice screws if you get crevassed, they'll make me look cool when I'm skiing in Kitzbühel

Nice, I was there last year for the school spring holiday, stayed in the valley in Sankt Margareten - much cheaper accommodation.
I'll be in Mallnitz this time and skiing Molltaler, but will explore Ankogel on Sunday, since its the last day of operation. Got a good deal on ski passes (230 eur for 6 days adult, 115 eur for kids), but I booked in advance via https://www.gopass.travel/ , check it out.
I'll be on the lookout for a turtle ninja with ice screws, harness, rope and ice axe then, intimidating them Bazzes :D
