which glacier in Austria

Hi,

could anybody recommend a glacier in Austria for beg of May ?

Once I have been to Tux but the slopes are rather sunny and in case of high
temperature skiing aftre 1:00 p.m. was a nightmare.

rgds,

Skiing after 1:00pm is generally not good on *any* summer glacier.

I don't think there are any significantly better than Hintertux in
Austria, although others may be as good.

We spent the last week of May last year training at HinterTux, we ended up
skiing Knee deep powder on the 2nd of June and packed it in at about 4 in
the afternoon, but we had come expecting just to ski the mornings. We'll
have to see what happens this year

Snowconditions in Stubai are usually little bit better than in Tux (not
_that_ sun exposed). Last weekend Stubai was very satisfying (a friend
of mine spent there a week - I had to work...).

Hi everybody,

I have just spent e week at Stubai glacier. Snow conditions are quite good
as for May. Fortunatelly in the middle of the week it became cloudy so I
could ski even untill 16:00. On Friday morning it was -4 degrees at 2600 m.
It should be quite good at lease till the end of May.
