    Lifts are open, but it's bleak. Bring your ice-skates ;-)

    Temps supposed to drop tonight so FINGERS CROSSED a bit more snow can be made- prob won't last long but every little helps! Will be interesting to see how many show up for ski school in the morning...

    Booked the usual spot last week in Westendorf for the end of Feb. All I can do now is hope the conditions are ok. Plenty of time, so I'm not panicking (yet).

    Hi,

    I'm trying to book a couple of hours lessons for myself and my adult son on Friday 9th January.
    We are both beginner to intermediate.

    Skischule gave me the following quote, which is a little over our budget:
    2 hours/2 persons: € 176

    Anybody know of any alternatives? I was thinking more of about 100Euro, but perhaps i'm being unrealistic.

    You should be able to book a full day for 200 and an additional 25 per person

    There is only one ski school in Soll, and it's closed on Fridays so it's a good day for private lessons, nice quiet slopes :-)

    It's looking good SUPing! Now that the temps have dropped, every cannon on the mountain is running at full blast so two days of this and it'll be a whole new ball game- YAAY!! :-)

    Just a reminder for fans of the Underground- it's closed this season, but Dave has set up shop in The Mill (beside the Whisky Muhle). Crocodile game still optional ;)

    I was in Sol twice with friends both times and frequented a lot of bars and I never knew the Underground bar existed! Got chatting to people on the morning we were leaving the last time and they were raving about it. I'll have to go a third time!

    The Mill is far better than it used to be. I didn't know it was done up.

    Yes, and apparently the fish & chips he's doing are very nice too. SalvenStadl will always be my bar of choice though, it's just too much fun ;)

    Haha yes, just a slight delay!

    The good thing is that it arrived on time for the start of the season proper. This is when it all kicks off! And although people like to slate Soll/Skiwelt for using cannons, this is when it really comes into its own- the entire resort can be turned around practically overnight once the temp drops. Yahoo!! Hope you're enjoying!! :-)

    Some difference a week makes. It was looking awfully gloomy last week.
