Fortunately, we own, as each year, season skipasses for the whole area. Coming to Rauris and see what we did not understand. Almost no snow and a number of people in the lift queue was the   worse than in the blackest nightmare. We stand in line and wait and wait. After endless waiting, we went at the hill and again whipped. ICE ICE ICE. We did a couple of runs on the slopes and went away. No powder no fun. After a longer anabasis with accommodation we finally found apartement in Piesendorf and the promise of snow gave a bit of hope to us.

Fortunately for us forecast did not lie. Woke up in the morning was to the mist, the snow charmed us. Therefore we go into the valley Saalbach-Hinterglemm. This valley is famous for higher precipitation amount and it was so. Neither fog discourage us, and we did first powder turns. Nothing less all the snow was on the ice and so we cut several couloirs and the last rider was riding only on ice. We had cool research slony the resort and sometimes even good powder turns. We have easily guessed what awaits us the next day.
