Skiing in St Johann im Pongau

We are planning a week in St Johann im Pongau 19 to 26 March, 2006. We have been told by friends that we will still get good skiiing in this area at this time. Can anyone out there give us some good advice on this matter.

You should still have plent of snow at this time of year. Even if snow is a little thin, you are only 1/2 hr or so away form Sports Gastein where they ski right through until beginning of May - due to higher pistes. The whole ski region is called %26quot;Amade%26quot; and your ski pass covers both these areas and many more.


Have a great time!

alpina is not that high - i think late march is pushing it - it%26#39;s too warm. we were in gross arl - it%26#39;s very close to st. johann - and it was a great winterland and -20C at night . it was feb...and then at the end of the week there was a thaw and everything in the village melted and the slopes were foggy and slushy. and march is much warmer and unpredictable...



you should consider going higher . even on glaciers at high altitude it gets very icy and crudy and no good snow that late. we were in tuxertal in mid march - and we skied -but as i said, it%26#39;s much better in feb. and tuxertal is very high compared with alpina.
