Brixen and Westendorf – deep in snow

The last day of Feb 09 delivered blue skies in the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser and more than snow there than I have ever experienced over the years. This was my first trip of the 08/09 winter season to the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser region and heavy snow had fallen in the preceding days. The snow was also heavy on the pistes as the first mild spring weather has hit the Tirol. The snow was not slushy even at the bottom but was very sticky and toward the end of the day the pistes could be pretty cut up, but genuinely the most snow I have experienced in the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser region.

if you mcould possibly hold the snow like that for another 3 weeks? that’d be great!
Well I can’t promise but there is plenty of snow forecast over the coming days and into the weekend – this really is one of the very best winters for snow for some time.
