Ski season opening party in Ischgl, Austria - Munich

Was just thinking about snowy stuff, and checked on the Ischgl website for their opening gig here:

For those unaware, Ischgl has reputation as a #1 party town for skiing and boarding. I have been to season opening weekends in Zell am See and they can be quite lively - and you get
people coming ONLY for the party...I have chatted to a few that can't ski etc but just go for the fun.

Just a kinda heads up to see if this floats anyone's boat. Not sure I can actually get a "pass" myself, but thought I would shout it up for those of us awaiting the snow.

I hear the beautiful sound of fresh ice on sharpened steel...
I fell the "armeisen" in my leg as I carve low and fast...

Time to start the Schigymnastik. Hup hup.

Anybody thinking about going skiing weekend after next?

Me!

Is that 29th and 30th? or do you mean later. I'm up if 29th and you don't mind me riding the gay tray. Is there any snow yet?

Riding the gay train? If your up for sharing my car I am gonna go to Staubia this weekend...not sure which day yet though, but my colleague was there the other weekend and said it was good.

Do you mean the Stubai Glacier? Must admit I normally dodge the glaciers and just wait for the real stuff to turn up. And whilst this thread is alive if anyone reading likes riding during the week (to dodge the great unwashed), shout me up.

Forget going to Stubai this weekend - it will be a white out up there, and seriously cold. We're going to get hammered with snow the whole weekend - even here in Munich.

Weekend after next will be the time to hit the slopes (or midweek if you can swing it).

@Hutcho: They're talking about the weekend after next.

I'm driving that weekend with buddies. 29th-30th We're considering between Hintertux Glacier and Stubai. We've been boarding last week at Hintertux b/c they had better conditions. Was OK. Snowing now and the entire weekend. Some of the 'non-glaciers' are supposed to open this weekend.

www.zillertal.at - good page to check for news, conditions, and accommodation.

We are off to Sölden 29/30 weekend and I am optimistic for good conditions.

I think Ischgl is a great powder place but I am weary of it out of main season. We are off to Ischgl first weekend in January

Wooo Hooo for winter

If it snows like promised this weekend, Ischgl should be perfect.

Hoping to go to St Anton for Nov 29-30, can't wait

You might be right with Ischgl. They are one of the early non-glaciers. The opening party is huge.

Stubai 90cm, Sölden 90cm, Hintertux 135cm... maybe Pitztal (haven't checked)

After this weekend, you won't need to go to a glacier. They'll be a meter of snow about 1000m at most places.

Hmm, I want to go. Stupid lack of money ruining everything. The Stuttgart crew and the Munich crew should combime to form the ultimate Skiing group.
Yes. Work makes me type stupid things.
