9-30 January: Ladies First! Weeks. Ladies will be treated like princesses during these weeks. Every lady can pick up a copy of the 'Ladies First' booklet and a small welcome gift at the Tourist Office. The vouchers in the booklet get you the following benefits: free ladies drinks, discounts in shops and restaurants, and offers for spa treatments. These weeks are also know as Powder Snow Weeks, as there is much talk about powder and untouched slopes - an ideal time for powder enthusiasts.
April:
8-10 April: New Orleans meets Snow, St Anton: The focus will be on soul, blues, funk and jazz. There will be live concerts throughout the resort, adding a dash of southern flair to St Anton. This festival line up includes members of the Austrian jazz elite, as well as a special surprise guest star from New Orleans.
16 April: The White Thrill Race. This race attracts thousands of winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world every year. In principle, any one can take part, but from experience it is not suitable for absolutely everyone. The Race starts with over 500 participants and follows a 9km downhill run (including a gruelling 150m ascent somewhere in-between), which pushes even seasoned skiers to their limits.
