Niederau area

ooo arrr

Hi Tom,

Depends how you look at your boarding. Niederau has a limited area. The three/four main runs offer some good challenges, generally much steeper than the Schiwelt.

The difficulty for a boarder is the transition. The main run, (19) drops directly under the gondola, so there are no issues apart from the long schuss into base.
However, there is a cross-over at the top, you have to get across by a slightly sloping path. Once across, both of the other main runs are great boarding runs.

On the run across to the right, once there, you can feed in repeatedly by chairlift.

There are a couple of good off-pistes that boarders can take advantage of, that remain difficult for skiers.

There are a lot of boarders that use Niederau, and I guess I find that surprising because of the cross-overs. This may be that the place itself is attractive and friendly.

Auffach is more lift friendly, you can access evrywhere. It is mainly above the tree-line. There is an all day ski bus service, and you get a bus card supplied by your accomodation.

I arrive on 4 March, plan A is to ski the Thursday morning with Rustyinn, so if you are around.....

dave and rusty are you still there when the rest of the nutters arrive on 7th march, if so you free for some lessons? :D

I reckon you'd be a right laugh on a night out, you just come across on here as completely mental, in the best possible way!!!

You'll be ok on any skis, but if you're serious about doing more offpiste, you might want to look into get some wider skis in the long run.

I cant wait to use mine next month for the first time.

i was for a change being serious re off piste, i have been looking at ise's pics and it just looks like heaven all that snow just your own tracks must be heaven.

i panick if anyone comes within 30 metres of me i just seem to get some sort of rythmn going and some little austrian urchin comes flying between your legs and makes you look like a right prat, maybe if i had been born with skis on i would of had a better chance,

ise just for a change, was skiing his bit of heaven, unlike the ski resort next door which is my bit of heaven, and gets poached frequently.
