Axamer Lizum – Innsbruck serves up great powder skiing 12th Dec 08

I wouldn’t expect any skier or boarder to favour anywhere other than their local hill in the right conditions. I am no different and for me Axamer Lizum always delivers great powder skiing, whilst untracked lines can be found days after the clouds have cleared. Today the clouds were still there but the crowds were few and the snow deep; Innsbruck has seen a great deal of snow this last week. It is not unheard of having great powder skiing as early as November and this year has been one of the very best starts to a winter that most can remember. The clouds are set to lift in the morning and we are off to Ischgl for a day of powder, après ski and an evening beauty contest all courtesy of the great people at Ischgl tourism.
