Schladming-Dachstein opened a month early!!!!! Not just on the glacier, on Planai mountain as well.

This has to be a good sign!! For a resort that was struggling last year with its low altitude, to having some runs open on their winter ski mountain, thats awesome.. and its only Oct!!

Yeah, but i would imagine its cooling down rather rapidly at the moment!!

I would have thought that some lucky locals have hiked up the mountains to get their first turns of the year, in good powder as well!!

Why cant we have mountains and lots of decent snow here... :( lol

Thats Filzmoos, been there for the past 3 years. It seems to always get tonnes of snow, more than anywhere else near it gets!! In the first webcam, at 1060m, thats a huge amount of snow for Oct!!

And still snowing now!!

EVERY morning i check the cams, how sad is that?!

I am not even skiing Europe this winter (well, more than likely not :( ) and im still excited lol.

Pretty much every mountainous region in Northern Hemisphere has had significant snow now. Austrian alps had a lot of snow, 1 foot plus in some areas!! Its the turn of the western Alps at the moment.

Its the time of the year it can be very snowy one day, and warm and sunny the next!!

From what i've heard, this winter is supposed to be a good one!! :D

Its a La Nina year, which means a cooler period than usual, and sometimes more precipitation. I have heard that the Alps and Pacific Northwest (Rocky Mountain resorts and Whistler etc) are all in for a cold snowy one!!! Fingers crossed!

Sounds good to me!! Yeah school is sh*t, nice to have a break!! Although i finished all that now. Silver Star is included in our package thing, so i am sure we will all get over there as well.

Cant wait!!!
