I had skied the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser in all kinds of weather but this was about as good as it gets – the very end of February, I had just skied over to Westendorf and back and by the time I got back over to Brixen the mist and clouds have fully lifted to produce this. A random farmers hut just next to the Brixen piste – this is one of my favourite images of the 08 / 09 winter.

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.
