Ok, let's narrow things down a bit. SLB is at least 500nm too far North.

dook 2nd Mar 2019 19:57

Given the N-S dimensions of Norway I think the 500nm reference isn't really going help.

I've been looking at snow reports.

Austria or Switzerland ?

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 20:12

Thats why I said 'at least' dook. There have been record snowfalls in parts of the Alps and I commend your reasoning. It is one of the two.

dook 2nd Mar 2019 20:27

Austria looks the better bet.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 20:51

That's the one. Should be easy to find now. There are clues in the picture.

Zell am See has a strip.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 21:00

Yes it does, but it's not that. Zell am See is next to a lake.

dook 2nd Mar 2019 21:08

Yes I know that but there's not much of the area shown.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 21:12

There's no lake close to here but there are a couple of other things which might help. One is obvious and one not so much.

TheiC 2nd Mar 2019 21:15

That would be the TWO heated pitches.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 21:20

Nothing to do with pitches. Try line features.

There is a snow covered rail track
apparently unused

dook 2nd Mar 2019 21:29

I've done my bit so I'll leave it to others now.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 21:30

Well spotted SLB. It's not disused but it doesn't operate in winter.

WIDN62 2nd Mar 2019 22:08

How about Kufstein?

Self loading bear 2nd Mar 2019 22:11

Engadin

has a football pitch on west side

edit
aber ist in die Schweiz


ea200 2nd Mar 2019 22:18

Not Kufstein. Wrong river.

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 22:23

Not Engadin. Es ist in Osterreich.

Mauterndorf?
(but no football pitch on Google)

ea200 2nd Mar 2019 22:51

Mauterndorf LOSM it is. The football pitch postdates the Google image. The railway line is narrow guage and runs steam trains and hauls timber in the summer. The airfield is the highest in Austria at 1110m amsl (for our continental friends). Well known gliding site due to mountain wave and ridge soaring conditions. Powered aircraft welcome in the summer. I understand that a few ski equipped aircraft operate in the winter. Friendly lot there.

SLB has control.
