    You better believe it.... it's finally snowing hard and as I left the mountain today it had already snowed a good 15cm up high. It's now 8.30pm and it's dumping!!
    The day started off with pretty strong winds and my group headed over to Stuben, but the cloud level was pretty low so skiing to Langen was out as the vis was poor. We headed to Verwall through the beautiful water fall gully which is always impressive and snow was a mixure of powder patches and crud...interesting!!.
    Will update tomorrow on the powder day!!!

    Yeah Graham. I have already dropped Graham a line. I skied with him a couple of days last year - a very good chap. Sounds like conditions are gonna be - allright

    My only fear is that the goods are taken before I hit the slopes. Well the bc never fails

    BTW: Graham at pistetopowder can be recommended to anyone going to the arlberg area!
    All work and no play, ... you know...

    Was with Graham 3rd week Jan and even though it hadn't snowed for 2 weeks he still found us fresh tracks. Then it dumped

    About 40cm's of fresh to report in the Arlberg. Not to much in town here, but the mountain was great. Nothing really opened and lots was sliding on the underlying crust, but with some conservative route selection great turns and face shots were had.

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    i am further east and don't have any local allgäu knowledge, kleinwalsertal, nebelhorn, but that's just vaguely naming the obvious places i guess.
    not that i'm complaining, but the weather here is getting a bit ridiculous. complete chaos on the roads, "katastrophenalarm" in areas close by, snow very wet and heavy and the army has been called in to help the fire fighters get snow off the roofs because buildings keep collapsing..

    Leysin got some last night.
    Not much, but some. I'm guessing 10-20cm.

    Eastern Austria has received a massive dump of up to 150cm. Oberösterreich (Upper Austria) has been particularly affected.

    it has snowed a lot in south east bavaria. it is still doing so. in fact, there is snow much snow i cannot go skiing because the roads are blocked. the car would probably get stuck before i got to the road anyway. i don't know what to make of this.

    Typical sno4kast routine for this season.
    They trot out some pretty colors, then down-grade the colors,
    then they disappear from CH and end up in the Austrian pan-handle.

    Saturday: PDS; CH-side. Bluebird, stella blue. Dust on ice and crust.
    10 - 15cms of blower pow and hoar-frost.
    We did find 20 - 25cms in the wind sheltered gullies and couloirs.

    Thank goodness for the ice underneath, no core shots!
    Very thin coverage overall, the alpage showing thru in may SW aspects.

    Pistes never softened up, hard as nails all day long... ughhhhh.

    All 12 of my possible touring partners working today. What are the odds? So just tour up the piste at Les Grands Montets and finish off doing some moguls.

    Rocks in the bottom of the moguls from the Herse chair, pistes from Bochard are way too icy for my tastes. But not too big moguls and enjoyable on the Hotel run skier's right of the Herse, as well the Pierre a Ric piste down to town was quite nice... partly because they're making snow down there now.

    Seems like about 10-15cm fresh out there from the last little thing that puttered through. Reports are that it's making for decent ski touring so I'm hoping to get out again on Monday.
