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.

Video: Couloir Riding in St. Anton, Austria

Between St.Anton and Kappl there is this about 600m vertical couloir which nobody seems to ride. A beautiful line we had to check out. The high pressure has given us great touring conditions the past few days. But day time heating has made everything but pure north facing slopes sketchy. On the weekend there was around 300 human triggered avalanches just in Tyrol – Crazy! The high pressure has given us great touring conditions the past few days. But day time heating has made everything but pure north facing slopes […]

Epic Powder at Arlberg, Austria

Blower Pow - Photo: Alina Busse

Epic powder and bluebird skies – What more could you ask for? The biggest problem today was so many great lines to ski and perfect pow on all aspects. Where to go first in this huge accumulation of ski resorts? We started our day close to home in Stuben, which has a lot of great north facing runs. Good choice, just like any other today. The snow was just amazing and it kind of reminded me of that velvety AK powder that is just so effortless to ride […]

Back to Winter at Arlberg, Austria

Couloir entrance

After a week and a half of high pressure and spring like conditions we are back to winter weather. This is good news because everything but north facing slopes were getting pretty thin. Sunday it snowed about 10 cm and it was a nice little refresh, though a lot of places you were still hitting crust. Monday morning there was a couple hours of sun which we used to shred the rocky steep backside of Rendl, St. Anton. You can reach the ridge line from […]

Epic Conditions at Arlberg, Austria

This past week has been insane. The snow has just been piling up. Between digging out my car and riding powder there has been barely anytime for writing conditions reports and taking pictures. It has been quiet on the mountain the past few days as well. Especially the dump days have been super fun with fresh tracks every run. Last weekend it snowed 40cm of dry light pow on a rather hard icy surface but if you stayed away from steep terrain you could ride bottomless faceshot pow […]

Conditions Report Arlberg, Austria: Perfect Powder Day

Yesterday it was snowing hard all day with almost no wind. The snow just kept piling up. This morning the result was 40cms of perfect powder. Then more luck, skies started to clear completely at around 9 a.m. – what timing! The snow was just perfect and well bonded at most places. Some spots where the strong wind gusts had blown off all the snow last week you could still hit the odd rock. But most places it was just deep and fun with lots of faceshots. Top to bottom runs with well over 1000m vertical are finally full on! So we hiked up to the Maroikopf […]
