Ski holidays in Austria
After several days of snow the Stubai Glacier offered excellent power skiing / snowboarding today, although I think yesterday might have been one of the days of the season so far. Ironic then that most of those on the Stubai Glacier today were unconcerned with the banks of powder and instead chose to throw themselves [...]
Just back from the Stubai Glacier where the conditions on-piste were superb, great snow and sunshine. Off-piste was both hazardous due to the high avalanche danger, whilst most of the off-piste was tracked out in any case. There were a good number of people there to enjoy the great skiing.

We have seen more calls this year for early season and glacier skiing in Austria. One question always arises – ‘what is it like’? Having skied the glaciers in Austria for 9 years now my experience is a very positive one overall. Personally I like the cold and November into December can be bitingly cold. [...]
