Backyard Park, Brand, Austria – Spring Sessions The gorgeous Brander Valley located in the very western part of Austria close to the Swiss and Lichtenstein border boasts great skiing, spectacular views and a really special, creative and well thought through park.

Obergurgl, Austria Conditions Report: Spring Powder We went on a 2 day trip to the Ötztal hunting for some spring powder in Obergurgl/Hochgurgl. Last weekend it snowed roughly 20 cm, so Obergurgl with it’s high elevation up to 3100m was the perfect place to go. Generally it’s been a low snow year in the southern Alps this season but above 2600m there are still great dry pow stashes to be found. Obergurgl offers a huge amount of terrain and amazing lift infrastructure giving access to seven huge bowls that have AK like terrain. Conditions Report Eike Poeppelmeier | April 14, 2016 0 Comments

Arlberg, Austria Conditions Report Video: Promising Start for March March has been of to great start. Tuesday we got 20-30 cm on a firm base but great blower pow. Wednesday it was a little warm and few flakes, this was great for the snowpack softening up that hard layer. Thursday we woke up to another 20cms of blower pow and no more buried crust. Not much going on at the resort so we had a great group pow shred all day as shown in the short video. Conditions Report Eike Poeppelmeier | March 4, 2016 0 Comments
