I'll be heading to Arlberg next week and the snow conditions aren't looking too good.
If here's any austrian ns'ers I'd like to know how the conditions are and is there enough snow for freeriding.
Is St. Anton even worth going to or should we drive down to the glaciers like Pitztal?

Austria sucks completely right now. Way too warm and no snow in lower areas. Only option is to go to the glaciers currently. Kaunertal, Pitztal, Kitzsteinhorn, Stubai. But don't expect good freeride conditions there. Best park should be at the Kitztsteinhorn at the moment. Pitztal is ok right now but it's not the very best park (pretty long jibline, small kickers). Kaunertal and Stubai only have small winter parks and the big fall setups are already taken down.

it just sucks way to warm no snow. not even cold enough for snow making.
if you want to catch some lines i would try on the glacier the rest i think is just stupid.
even big resorts like arlberg, serfaus-fiss-ladis have postponed their openings, but they are open right now.

and i the next few weeks there is probably no snow coming in. gpod luck

Im in germany, over from australia, and going riding jan 10th in laax, chamy, mayrhofen and the conditions are looking ghetto. Once in a life time trip and mother nature has bent me over. Still got 2-3 weeks. Good luck to you my friend.
