The slides into the bottom of the valley were massive last week and looked a bit different each day , it seemed pretty prudent to shut it. |
Thats because there is no controlled blasting right now in Steißbachtal ......they are natural slides only
Nornal circumstances they would not be so large.

@DB, You think they are worried about planes crashing into happy valley? Seems doubtful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@JimboS, not doubtful at all, it happened! Collusion with Vallugabahn. With the German pilot killed.
@DB, this might very well be related indeed! Article is mentioning that the signaling of the cables had faded due to lacking maintenance, and that avalanche-ignition gear was also placed in front of it. All of this causing the warning signs to be obscured.
Sounds like the Arlberger Bergbahnen are in trouble!

Does anybody know if Gunnar is still performing in St Anton?

@Langerzug, So close the piste in case a plane crashes into the cables, but keep the cable car open?

@JimboS, the crash happened summer 2016. The cable was undamaged, the cable-car was in the station and not involved.
Case is in court currently, looking at responsibilities.
It is imaginable that in the meantime the state of Tyrol has ordered to remove the anti avalanche gear that was placed in front of the cable-car warning signals, and that the ski lifts have not been able to install new gear in time.
That having said, other routes with similar exposition, known for avalanche danger in the Arlberg region are also closed for some time, e.g. Zugertobel and Zuppert in Lech.
This season had some spectacular weather after all. And more is coming....

Yes he is.
He gas been quite seriously ill with "C" but i believe doing ok ....

@Langerzug,
That is not the reason ...
I really cannot say on here or jeopordise very good internal info.
The "Silence" code is in full mode amougst the locals..
I can say that ..No one is close to the reason so far suggested.
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Well, actually I'm sticking to believing that it is just avalanche danger.
Even the Lawinenwarndienste kept on mentioning the hard to decipher 'gleitschnee' issue between 1500-2400 m, nevertheless the Stufe 1/2 that was up till yesterday. As mentioned, Zugertobel and Zuppert are also closed for weeks already
I've had enough of farmers-rumors and komplot-theories

@PBJ, great - thanks for update, please let us know what it’s like later on, might be a slow opening day I suggest - loads more to come. Can’t see them opening up high today, blasting will be tomorrow I’d say at best.

@Langerzug, It is the official line...

Land disputes have been know to close lifts & pistes. Lift companies often have a deal with land owners (e.g. Farmers). Sometimes they fall out.

i am not such a regular poster, however I snowboard in St Anton at least once a year.
Free rider I dont know you and have nothing aginst you........ however nothing worse than coming on and saying you are all wrong but I am not telling you. Really makes you sound like a dXXK. Either state the reason you think or don't mention it again.

@blkball, Take plenty beer vouchers! and/ or skins, don't think there's going to be much open. Hope i'm wrong.
I'm round in Lech from Saturday.....looks like it'll be brilliant once it opens up after this lot.

@kitenski, Na haven't tried touring before, suppose i could hire some skis if they are going to do that. Avalanche risk could be up too high by monday and they might just cancel. Hopefully the weather is better than forecast or the underground and Piccadilly will be getting my lift pass money!
