Skiing at Innsbruck
St. Anton's gets much more snow than the resorts at Innsbruck. It's about
an hour away. And it's big. If you get a chance, also ski at Lech and Zurs which are right around the corner from St. Anton's. I've heard you can ski from St. Anton's to Lech and Zurs but a guide is recommended. "Bill" wrote in message k.net... I have a trip planned to Innsbruck the first of Dec. Has anyone skied there and have any suggestions. What about St. Antons. It seems to be close by. Was wondering if it is the better place to ski, and how easy is it to get to if I am staying in Innsbruck? How realiable is snow the first of Dec? |

Skiing at Innsbruck
The mountains around Innsbruck are much lower than the western Austria
resorts (Lech, Zurs, St Anton).. and you're going pretty early on in the season.. I was considering Austria this year over New Years, however, after talking to some people they suggested I could get iffy snow conditions in the innsbruck resorts so I decided against it.. so I'd have to say you're taking a big chance going in early December..

The mountains may be lower, but the valleys are also lower so there is just as much vertical. Also, the night life is better in Innsbruck. I don't think the concern was about the vertical (which is the same in December as it is in February) but the snowfall (which is not). |

I've skiied there twice in the spring; one year wound up being great in March with new dumps almost every other day - the only problem was that they hadn't had snow before that week in ages, so only the glacier at the top (Stubai) was open; the other year was a bit earlier, most of the resorts were still open, but no new snow for the time - things were getting pretty cruddy and melty. I've heard good things about St. Antons, but for some reason we didn't take the bus over there. Since you're going early, you might be limited to Stubai, which has lots of terrain, but a lot of it serviced by surface lifts, so be prepared for the burn! -- Brent Harsh - KD4PBO /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Say bharsh at ncroadrunner \ / NO to HTML in email and news. ------------------------X------------------------------- Cary, NC, USA / \ Read my mail with fixed fonts. |
