Hi guys,

27 year old planning my first trip to Austria from Dec 23 - 13th Jan!
While I realise this isn't the best time to go, my office is closed during this time so it's my only window. I want to make sure I am going to get the most out of my trip, I am travelling solo and I want to stay in hostels, meet people, party a bit and of course, rip the Austrian Alps from first to last lift!

the plan so far:

-Fly into Innsbruck

Week 1: -Innsbruck Olympia Ski World ( 9 resorts from what I read - any suggestions/ advice -xmas markets good apparently)
Week 2: St Anton/ Ischgl - (want to party over new years - again - suggestions/ advice)
Week 3: Solden or Mayrehofen - Can't decide?

Fly out from Innsbruck

-Can anyone spot any major flaws in this plan? will there be enough snow? I've read solden has lots of snowmaking facilities and a pretty good nightlife and terrain parks, but Mayrehofen is also getting good ratings too!

-I'm into freeskiing and Park skiing, can anyone suggest a mountain that I have missed that is a must for someone like me?

-Is there a ski pass that covers all of the resorts?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey, good mountains would be, Stubai Glacier with the Stubai Zoo Park, Nordkette with the Skyline Park, Axamer Lizum with the Golden Roofpark.
I would suggest you go to Mayrhofen, the Vans Penken Park is really creative and has unique features in my opinion.
Me and my buddy went there 15 times last season, and it never dissapointed.
I am a local, if you need some more information just ask.
