Current ski conditions in austria?

Question

i am planning a ski trip there mid march.. is it worth it? ive heard they had an S****y early season but i am wondering if it has improved and what the typical conditions are for march.

Answer 1

It depends on the skiing area you want to go to.

The southern region such as Carinthia and Easter Tyrol had lots of snowfall so skiing in march will be no problem. Also all higher regions (Arlberg, Silvretta, Obertauern) have enough snow for skiing until Easter.

But you can't expect perfect conditions in March, this has nothing to do with the amount of snow but with the season! In spring the temperatures are higher. The slopes are very hard and probably icy in the morning and very soft at noon, even last year where the Austrians had very much snow.
