There is also a photo gallery showing a lot more of construction work in progress.

Thanks to Harry Maier at the Karl Maier Ski School for providing us with the latest information regarding the new developments in Rauris.


1. They are building a 65000 m3 water-lake up on the mountain, as well as a pump-station, to have enough water for the snow-machines in the winter. The lake is situated on the left hand side of the double-t-bar from the middle station. The schedule is, that it should be finished by the end of october/beginning of november, so that they have enough time, to fill it with water as well. Depending a little on the weather conditions of course, they should achieve that. At the moment they are working 7 days a week, and I would say it looks good that the lake will be ready for this season.
 
2. The lift-company are also building or re-building the slope beneath the gondola down to the valley. The tracks will be a lot wider as well as more accessible for the skiers. I don't know how close to the schedule they builders are with that project, because it is hard to tell from just watching it. But I will talk to the boss of the lift-company in the next days, and will of course then pass on the "hot information" to you afterwards.

Many thanks again for that up to date information Harry, and we look forward to updates as and when you have them. It's all too exciting.

Hi all, just thought I should mention that we have created a "Rauris Ski Gang" group on Facebook. If you have a facebook account, feel free to join the group.
