Gosau-Zwieselalm Snow Forecast

My daughter and I stayed at the quite large, vital sport hotel for a week,in January. Lovely staff and good facilities, a short bus ride from the lift stations. We were the only snowboarders (and English) at hotel all week but no bad thing as we could practice our German. The pistes were in excellent condition thanks to new snow, good mix of skiers and boarders on the mountain, enjoying superb views from the top of the Hornspitz across the valley and from the Zwissalm towards the Dachstein glacier once the skies cleared. Tho you must check what time the last bus goes from the panorama jet gondola-we missed it at 4.50 and had to hike back (in the dark) for over an hour on roads with no footpath!!
