Hi Peer

I'll be in Munich next week and have two weeks before the Christmas
crush to ski.
Sitting in Munich: At the moment there is green fields.


Glacierresorts in Austria and on Zugspitze are opened. I was mid of
november in Stubai and it was fine on piste. Offpiste was close to nothing.
I don't expect skiable snow before Xmas in the lower regions.


I usually don't rely on the reports of the resorts, but prefer the
scientifically measured snowheights from the Bavarian and Austrian
avalanche services:

(these seems to be not available at the moment)

(Of course these are not measured on piste, but the values give a more
precise image how good the snow will be.
