Let the skiing commence!

Well, it's that time of year again! The official ski season has started at Rauris, the cable cars are active and people have been spotted on the slopes.

We all wish we were there right now, the snow looks pretty good and hopefully this season we will continue to have good falls of snow to keep things nice and fresh.

Anyone heading off in the near future, or over Christmas/New Year, have a great time, and don't forget to post about your experience in the forum (along with any pics/videos you may want us to publish).

Confirmation of our January holiday details

We have now had confirmation from Crystal that our January holiday will be all inclusive as per previous years, as it was booked using the preview brochure prices which were issued before Crystal made changes to the Rauris pages in the brochure and website. Pheww, big sigh of relief.

Just thought this was a really nice webcam shot

I couldn't help myself posting this image from the Hochalm webcam. It really shows Rauris off as a beautiful ski area.

It's snowing in Rauris

Well, half way through September the snow has made an appearance on the hills in Rauris. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come and there's a great skiing season ahead for all.

Rauris ski area developments

I know that it had been mentioned in the forums that the run to the bottom had been completed, but Harry also mentioned in his email to us that

"Here in Rauris we have completely finished the water-lake for the snow-machines now, as well as the new slope down underneath the gondola."


It's always good to hear these bits of information straight from the source.

Rauris Style Challenge 2008

Thank you to Harry Maier for providing the following information on the Rauris Style Challenge 2008.

Last weekend we had a big charity event going on in town, the Rauris Style Challenge, for the 2nd time already. Basically we build a big ramp out of wood and a big pool as well, and then we invited the craziest and best freeskiers and snowboarder from Austria, Germany, Italy to show us some good jumps. A spectacular event. The jump is about 3,80m high, and the airtime they reach at the highest point of the jump is 7-8 m. After performing so stylish jumps the riders land in a pool, just about 1,20m deep.And it´s all for charity. Last year we (a group of young people, organizing the whole thing) could donate € 6.000,-- to a children foundation. You can find photos, videos, ... under www.rauris-style.at

The Original Rauris Ski Gang - skiing together again

Excellent news, it was confirmed earlier this week that the original Rauris Ski Gang will be back on the slopes next year. Not only that, but we'll all be staying in the Rauriserhof too! Better start saving for the bar bill now then eh Nigel?

We've reached 8000 hits!!

RSG+8000
Hi all, we've somehow managed to reach 8000 hits on our little web site. Not bad considering it was set up originally for a handful of original Ski Gang members to keep in touch...

We're glad our site has proved helpful to all those who have stumbled across it and found it a great source of information on Rauris. Just don't tell everyone about this little haven in Austria!
