Snow Falls On European Glaciers
Photo of the Week
Nearly 20 European ski areas will be open in October (half term holidays) including the twin glaciers at Solden which is one of eight Austrian ski centres open at this time.
The Hintertux glacier currently has snow depths of up to 125cm and the centre will organise its famous Pow(d)er weekend winter season opener on October 10th to 12th. This will include testing of the season’s new equipment, live bands performing for après ski events and Erdinger ‘white beer’ parties in the resort’s Sommerberg arena. Tux hopes for a powder snow covering of the 60km (37 miles) of runs which will be open for the weekend.
Ahead of the festivities the resort will re-open its Betterpark terrain park on September 13th. Finally, the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier above Kaprun will also be welcoming October guests, as will the Dachstein Glacier which is currently sitting on a 150cm (five foot) base.
In France, the glacier at Tignes re-opens on 26th September after a four week closure. Les 2 Alpes has limited opening dates in October, but they’ll
be big days with its annual season opening festivities. The Mondial du
Freeski will be staged on October 25th and 26th and the "Mondial du Snowboard" from October 31st to November 2nd.
In Italy Passo Stelvio and Val Senales will be open. At the latter their ‘Genrtleman’s’ terrain park is due to re-open in the middle of the month for winter 2008-9. There will be a Snowboard Opening festival on the 18th and 19th, and an official Park Opening on the 25th and 26th.
