Five top ski areas, 25 separate villages, 270 modern lifts and bucket loads of snow! The expansive Amade Ski area is primed and ready for the first School Ski Trips of the brand-new winter ski season.
Fantastic Early Season Conditions at Ski Amade
Our man on the ground in Salzburger Sportwelt (also known as Snow Space Salzburg), Alex, was delighted to report that it’s been “pouring down with snow”. Alex will once again be taking care of all IBT’s School Ski Trips in the picturesque Austrian Resort. He can’t wait for the season to get into full swing and welcome some fresh faces to Salzburger Sportwelt.
Slow starts have plagued Europe for the past few seasons. Hence, this cold and snowy beginning to the season has come as somewhat of a surprise. It’s a welcome one for everyone involved, who are optimistic about a great season ahead.
Despite only being the beginning of December, conditions are in tip top form, with excellent snow cover across much Ski Amade. This has led to many lifts being opened ahead of schedule and welcoming skiers and snowboarders earlier than expected. These early flurries have also disappointed one or two hillwalkers, who weren’t expecting snow quite so soon!
When organising school ski trips, it’s imperative for us to be ready way in advance, which means it’s now just a waiting game for us. The hotels are ready. The instructors are on stand-by. The pistes are being groomed. Rental equipment is being primed for our first guests of the season. And with more snow expected across the Ski Amade area, it seems the mountains are ready for us too!
