Winter isn’t over! It seems that Mother Nature didn’t get the memo about it being spring, but you won’t hear us complaining! Ski resorts in Austria and Switzerland are preparing for round two of ski season after a dump of fresh powder on Thursday and even more expected over the next week. It’s pretty safe to say a lot of the powder should still be there, thanks to empty springtime slopes and silly people who think it’s summer. Here are a few photos to get you back in the mood for winter sports. Grab your ski gear and book a holiday quickly to take advantage of the fresh pow!
Stubai Glacier
boasts a snow base of more than 200cm, with almost all of the pistes open for business. More snow is expected later this week. Stubai’s ski season doesn’t end until June 18 – check out the Stubai Zoo terrain park, one of the most popular training grounds for some of the biggest international freestyle athletes.

It’s still the middle of winter at the
Kaunertal Glacier, which boasts an incredible snow base of almost 2 metres. The Snowpark Kaunertal at this glacier in the middle of a pristine wilderness is now set up for spring – check out the best new snowboard models at the Snowboard Spring Break next week from April 29-May 5.

Ischgl
received their portion of new powder last week, just in time for their closing finale. Ischgl is set to bid adieu to this year's ski season with a Top of the Mountain Concert featuring Zucchero, on April 30 at the Silvretta Arena. The almost metre-high snow base should see this fashionable, high-altitude ski resort through the end of the season in style.

Don't give up hope on the 2017 ski season yet! With more snow expected across the Alps, especially in Tyrol and Salzburg, it's looking like the ski season is just getting its second wind. Get out there and enjoy some fresh powder!

Born and raised in the ski paradise of Vancouver, Canada, I learned to ski before I can remember, balancing precariously on my parents’ skis as they sailed down the hill. I started snowboarding in my teens and am now delighted to be exploring everything Europe’s ski scene has to offer!
