Saalbach & Hinterglemm Park

i found out on friday that the BUSC Main Event (biggest British uni snowsports comp of the year) is going to be at Saalbach & Hinterglemm in Austria and i was wondering if anybody had been there and what the park (and nightpark) was like? and what the off piste was like? resort link for general interest http://www.saalbach.com/en/winter/skicircus/activities/activity-details/article//Snowparks.html

have been there many times! the park is pretty good, with lots of rails and jumps. the only problem is, that its getting icey very often.

Ok thanks +k. now that i think about it I should have probably said the comp is held late march/early april so how is it in spring i.e does it get really patchy due to its altitude or is it high enough to remain properly rideable?

no prob! march is okay but it might be a little bit patchy due its altitude. but just wax your skis for slushy conditions and you'll be fine.
