Skiing in Zillertal

I often take a trip down after work on a Friday for a weekend skiing in the Zillertal. Usually that'd be Kaltenbach or Zell am Ziller (or a day in each), but this time I decided to ski a day in Mayrhofen for the first time in several years.

Snow was a bit iffy but still perfectly skiable. A little soft in the sunshine, but better up higher after going up 150er Tux cable car. Definitely want/need to return there when the snow is a bit better. Seems the Dolomites is getting dumped on this year, but it's not quite making it across the border!


On the Sunday, I did the Zillertal Arena, skiing from Zell am Ziller over to Gerlos, and then up to Königsleiten. I'd wanted to get a bit further, but decided to head back. Snow was better over there than Zell am Ziller, which was a bit scratchy. Definitely needed a good stance, and good edges.


Rest of the general 2013-2014 skiing pics are here.
