Take what I can get

Where is that? For some reason it reminds me of the Arlberg.

After reading all the doom and gloom before heading over here, I have been amazed how good it actually is. Been at Tignes/Val the last w days, and had some really good skiing. Maybe not the deepest base, but still been getting on some really good lines without hitting anything. If the rest of the trip is even half as good as this, I'll consider it money well spent! Especially since home in Banff is WAY worse right now!

The next 6 days, the Tarentaise is supposed to get 1+ meters. __THE__ place to be for the next week.

Just downvalley to the East is St. Foy. Make a trip there for a day, maybe hire a guide.

Im skiing the valais this weekend which has about 60%-90% of the average. So were lacking half a Meter of base basically. (Base, not snowfall.)
Much more below 2000m.
In all other regions it's more like a Meter of base that's missing.

Not in arolla, but the Meter at 2800m is about average .

We'll get 50-70 until Tuesday, maybe a bit more in France. Wow.
And no, skiing lac leman is not very high on my to do list. But I get it the Grass is always greener in Verbier where the old English boys school tourists every day.Attachment 442479

Or even already above the average with a week of cold pow to come [emoji6]

Ste Foy is on the hit list for sure! Heard very good things about it. Apparently they didn't have a great base before this snow, but should be better now. Have a friend of a friend there who can keep us updated on conditions there.

How long you in FR?

Thanks all. I was actually healthy skiing the WROD over new years. I've just missed the only two reasonable soft snow weekend this season dec. 17th and now..so far, lucky me.
It doesn't help that there is no snow nearby within a 2 hour range.

And tolco: you've Hit it right. This week, as stated before, should be good. And since you've Hit the only Region with close to average snow above 2000m, you should be here during a good season [emoji6]

[TOLOCOMan]

Fly home Feb 10. Plan to ski every day up to and including Feb 9th. Today was day 4. And so far, SUPER stoked to be here!

Certainly can't complain about the skiing we've had!

If anyone is around Tignes/Val the next couple of days, let me know and we can hook up for some turns!

France and Valais for the win. Slovenia: maybe.

Back to winter

[Fred Pabst]

How is the St. Anton region skiing lately? Seems like they've been getting some steady nickel and dime action snowfalls. Headed that way next week.

[subtle plague]

About 60cm in the valley in Lech( which is kinda surprising) less in Anton,100cm up high.
Better than the Rest of Austria. Still pretty bad.

[vendul]

What happened to the 60 cm???🤣🤣🤣

Western austria is starting to ski "normal" as of today, at least for the post holiday period. Like you can start skiing fast.

The base to about 15-1600 is basically established, with very low tide conditions, but you're not scraping off the ground. Up higher it's starting to ski quite nicely. Just a bunch of little snows finally paying off. Lot's of wind now, but it's working to further smooth over the rocks.

I'm not skiing in the arlberg, but just one valley over.

I was pretty surprised as well. Maybe the station is under a snow blower?

[Fred Pabst]

Good to hear the skiing in Arlberg has improved. We are staying in Lech, which sounds like has a deeper base than St. Anton. We could have only gotten so lucky to hit epic conditions two trips in a row. Wife and I went this same week back in 2019. That was the year of epic snowfalls to that region. Code red!!

[JRainey]

Yeah, I must be clear that it's still a really bad winter. But now skiing off piste is becoming physically possible.

Hello everyone,
I have booked 6 days of skiing at Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis at Mt.lodge between the 27th of February and the 4th of March. As I will be alone and it will my first time there, I would like to ask for advice about where to ski or any lines. I will book a guide in a group for 1 or 2 days but not it will be on the first day. I also saw that there is a Freeride Days event at Andermatt during the time I will be there that also offers guiding at a slightly better price.
Any advice about where to ski, lines, guides or anything else is welcome!
( i will only do lift-served skiing or with a small hike)

Thank you all!!

If you go with https://www.andermatt-guides.ch/ say hi to Danny and please give my best to Michele and Serena at mtn_lodge.

I like to ski over to the Gemsstock tram from Rueras: walk up the hill to the train station, take the train West to the first stop at Dieni, get off, ride lifts and ski Westward until you get to Andermatt. Take skis off and walk across the street to the train station where you can pick up the jitney that take people over to the Gemsstock tram.

Sounds like a cool plan. So all those "freeride" routes shown on the map are avy controlled?
