Why Is Austria Skiing Dirt Cheap For USA Right Now?
I'm looking at a price of $575 for airline and 7 nights lodging in
Innsbruck for early January. I've seen several places offering similar deals right now for Innsbruck. I've never been to Europe and this price is super cheap, but I am wondering what the drawbacks are. I am really worried about jetlag too. How does Innsbruck stack up to the rockies or Whistler? |

Why Is Austria Skiing Dirt Cheap For USA Right Now?
I do have a quote of $886 USD for airfare/transfers 7 nights at Hotel
Felsenhof in Lech (w/half board). Seems to be a better location, but price is based on flying out on Dec 12 which may be toooo early for snow still. Any thoughts? |

Lech is a great area because on one ticket (at least it used to be this way),
you can ski Lech, Zurs, St Christoph, St Anton and one other small-ish area. Lech and Zurs are actually linked by lifts. On the downside, it is probably the most expensive place to stay and play in Austria. Not sure what half-board gives you, but if it doesn't include dinner, you may be in for a little sticker shock at the restaurants. Not on the scale of Vail mind you, but for Austria, it's pretty pricey. All that being said, I wouldn't bet on decent snow that early. We rarely went skiing anywhere except glaciers before mid-February when I lived in Europe. |

Last year I was in St.Anton the second week of december. Above 2000m. the
snowcoverage was good. Below there was sufficient artificial snow. Lech is better most of the time. -Stephan |
