Josh in Ischgl - waiting for the powder days
Josh made his first real trips into the heart of Austrian skiing with a day combining visits to St Anton am Arlberg and Ischgl – two of the places he is likely to spend some time if all goes to plan. St Anton was abuzz with work on the new Rendlbahn ski lift and you can see the first impressions of how it is going to look when work is completed alter this year on the following video:
Watch his progress on our blog as he is absolutely sure to ski next winter barring freak weather or a meteorite strike.

Late February, looking back toward Brixen and the main section of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser region from Westendorf on the best day in the region that I have ever encountered. There was tons of new snow and the clouds had a real symmetry to them especially viewed from the new top station of the Choralmbahn gondola.

Kappl in great conditions, 19/02/09 – image © skiingaustria.co.uk
Just back from a great day, yesterday in the Paznaun Valley visiting the ski holiday resorts of Kappl and See, lesser known neighbours of Ischgl. The weather was cold and clear and the latest snow over the previous days the conditions were as good as you can get – really great news for all those visiting the Tirol during half term break. The 2 resorts are ideal for families and have good linkage between accommodation and the skiing, with a fair amount of the accommodation actually ski-in, ski-out. For those wanting to be close Ischgl but need to avoid the après ski then both See and Kappl offer great alternatives. They each have a fair sized ski area of their own with intermediate and beginner skiing dominating, whilst both have impressive kids and beginners ski areas. I cannot guarantee that you will get conditions like the 19th Feb 09 but that said, those days don’t come around too often in any case.
