Soll, Brixen, Westendorf, Ellmau in the Ski Welt opening 4th December

The Ski Welt is set to open this winter on the 4th December with a provisional earlier opening should the conditions be right. The farmers over here are predicting a cold winter so fingers crossed. Soll, Brixen, Westendorf and Ellmau as well as the other ski holiday resorts in the Ski Welt region are covered on the mighty Tirol Snow Card so if you are planning multiple visits over here this winter it might be worth considering. Alternatively buy it and then work out the other things such as accommodation, time off work etc. no new snow forecast for the coming days at lower elevations but the glaciers should see some additional snow over the coming days. The Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers at Solden are already open as is the Hintertux Glacier whilst the Stubai Glacier opens for the winter tomorrow.

Best ski images of winter 08/09 - Westendorf

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.
