Winter is taking a break, isn't it?

In an interview, Alfred Huber, operator of the ski, snowboard and Nordic fitness school "Aktiv" on the Oedberg, reports on how he keeps the business running

Ostin – Green meadows instead of good slopes, plus temperatures instead of the January cold: This mild winter is particularly hard on winter sports enthusiasts.

How are ski school operators dealing with the situation?

Alfred Huber has been running the “Aktiv” ski, snowboard and Nordic fitness school on the Oedberg in Ostin since 2005.

In an interview, he reports on how he keeps the business running.

Mr. Huber, how many mild winters have you experienced?

We have good and bad winters, it's always been like that.

Sure, the climate has shifted, thick snow usually comes later.

The first charge usually arrives before Christmas, and then it warms up again just in time for the holidays.

This year it was very extreme.

I do remember the winter of 1989/90, though.

When I took my state ski instructor exam, all courses took place on the glacier due to the lack of snow.

How many courses were you able to hold at the Oedberg?

In fact, it was only one weekend.

What does this mean for your ski school?

Since 2019 we have also installed the "Aktiv" ski school at the curve lift on Spitzing.

This means that we offer our courses for both Oedberg and Spitzing right from the start.

The course participants, some of whom come from far away, can then choose for themselves.

We drove all the way through the Spitzing during the Christmas holidays.

It should be communicated more clearly that skiing was really good there at the Stümpflingbahn, at the Osthanglift and at the Sutten.

In previous years we also switched to Achenkirch.

How are the courses for school classes and kindergartens going?

We also offer our courses in the Spitzing ski area, because we can't ski on green fields.

And most accept it.

We offer customers who don't want to go there a postponement, but in the worst case we have to cancel.

Assuming it snows again: How long would it be before there is a slope on the Oedberg again?

I'm not responsible for snowmaking, but the Oedberg GmbH with their boss Georg Reisberger manages it well and quickly.

We should have minus three degrees for three nights, then it should work again.

Honestly, do you still believe in a good rest of winter?

Of course, the signs of climate change are clearly visible, but I don't think there will be any more winters in the future.

In the current situation, you shouldn't always talk bad about everything.

Winter sports make up our region, it means so much and has recreational value.

The region produces so many Olympic champions and top winter sports enthusiasts.

You should write about how beautiful and important winter sports are.
