After reading Subtle Plague's comments about 80cms in Eberg early last week, Geo039 and I blazed a road trip there. It had been snowing quite a lot locally, but after some web research it seemed that Eberg would be...pardon the cliche'...EPIC!!!
We arrived late Thursday night to clouds and snow. And it continues to remain that way for at least the next 36 hours. We lost count since Subtle's 80cm number, but I reckon it snowed 20cm daily for the next two days after that. So I'm calling it 120cms.
Mad props to Subtle Plague and Greg for the guiding and hospitality! Really two of the nicest guys and stoked skiers I've ever met.
We're looking forward to the video.

Hotel Bellevue - the cheapest and bestest option
DAY ONE
First lift friday morning. Pea soup conditions so we go up Brunni to warm up our legs and kill time for Subtle and Greg to arrive.
Big pow! Geo's stoked!
We do some laps on Brunni, deep pow but a little heavy. So we bail and head over to the main station. We get a call in the Rotair that Subtle and Greg are only a tram or two behind us. THey show up at the top in 5 minutes and we're off into the clouds for a run down the Galtiberg. Almost zero visibility, we put our faith in Greg for a guide down one of the most amazing descents I've ever been on. So much pow it was SICK!!! 2000M+ of vertical, nice sustained steep pitch (30? 35 on the rollovers?), ginormous powder field at the top that runs down into a gulley and couliors down to the village. Amazing.
Ripz pow
