  I've been to Solden with my mother for the second time this year from 25/03 till 01/04/06. Enjoyed it as much as the first time. Good snow on the upper slopes (which is about 95% of the slopes.) Very good hotel(Hotel Bellevue, recommended if you like small nice hotels). Glaciers are brilliant, especially the Tiefenbach with its' very, very long and wide blue slope (carving galore!), if you are in Solden and the weather is good you HAVE to go up to the glaciers. One of my top resorts all around and I've been to quite a few already.

  Solden is a great ski resort, sometimes a bit crowded during Dutch and German holidays together. This is arbitrary because of the high standard of lifts. We normally go in March (for the previous 3 years.) Most of the days have good weather, with good temperatures. Snow at lower slopes sometimes a bit icy, but enough opportunities at higher parts of the resort, especially on the glacier.
  For me this is the number 1 ski resort in Austria, always security of good snow, at least at the glacier which offers about 25 km slopes. Try it out!

  My husband and I go to Solden all the time. Austrian people are very friendly and the pensions are reasonably priced when compared to Switzerland plus you always get a great breakfast to start the day. Lift lines can get very long if you don't hit the gondolas by 8-9am. Solden is laid out so that you can take gondolas to the very top glacier, then ski your way back down to the bottom. The runs are all wide and well groomed, but tend to get a bit bumpy in the afternoons (another reason to hit the slopes early). The town has an active nightlife, with lots of drinking. Don't miss out on trying the Austrian drink Jager Tea. It isn't made with Jagermeister, it is warm and sweet. Great after a long day of boarding. If you are in Germany, skip the German resorts and head another hour south, Austria is far better.

  Just got back from a week's skiing in Solden (2nd april 2005)
  skiing was fantastic, lower slopes needed more snow, but it was snowing when we left!!
  Stayed in the hotel birkenhof, absolutely brilliant hotel, staff lovely and food fantastic and lots of it.. definately recommend staying there if you visit solden.

  resort has great skiing from glacier down, get to the gondola early (before 9am) unless you want to queue!
