St. Anton

Hi. A Few of us are looking at going to St. Anton on February 28th. Does anyone have any idea what the snow will be like at that time and what the apres ski is like?

Cheers

What will the snow be like? Well there will definitely be some snow to ski on, how much or how good is a guess at best. Generally at this time of year you should be fine.

This is a real bummer. One of my most treasured analysis sites, the Iglu snow history, has been watered down. You could previously get 5 or 6 years snow history. They now claim 4 years history, but only show two years.

Anyway for what info they give, here it is:

You can of course, re-set for any resort.

Iglu get their info from Ski Club of GB, and it may be that organisation that has pulled the rug a little.

Anyone know of any other snow history sites?

I think snow-forecast.com go back quite a few years with snow history and charts - how far depends on the resort. I use them quite a lot for forecasts, historic snow and resort info.

Think you have to be a member to access some areas of the site though (I usually just buy one of thier t-shirts every year which gives me a free membership).

Coming soon to J2Ski.com...

We're soon to roll out a re-vamp of our snow report pages, that will include historical data compared to current... 8)

You can never be absolutely guaranteed good snow conditions. However, St Anton at that time of year is as close as you are likely to get so don't worry, it should be great :D.

As for apres ski .......... probably the best there is :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:. However, remember that the main apres ski session is concentrated on the hours between 4 - 8pm - most mortals slink off after this, have something to eat and fall into bed happy and content after a wonderful but exhausting day:lol:. . Both the Mooserwirt or Krazy Kangaroo are on the piste just above the village and are the places to start from about 4pm onwards. They often have live bands and dancing on the tables in skiboots is common practice. Just be careful skiing down the last stretch when you leave after a few beers :twisted:. After that, the scene moves down into any number of lively bars in the village - some of them close for an hour at about 8pm to allow them mop up the soaking wet floors (from all the skiboots) :!:.

Enjoy.

I dont want to go now.

I noticed that too, very annoying!
