Snow condition
Well...it was much better last week in Kitzbühel. There was snow all the way down to the valley, but not enough to ski steeply at the bottom (specifically, we skied a WNW slope there). We hit the ground with almost every turn. However, we were able to ski an ONE slope between 1600 and 1300m without any contact with the enemy.
Snow quality
On the ONO slope, mostly wind-pressed powder, sometimes quite heavily wind-pressed. It was ok to ski, but definitely with the handbrake on. On the WNW slope, however, the snow was great throughout, with powder set from top to bottom. Only the lack of snow spoiled the skiing fun here.
Risks
There was a lot of surface frost at the bottom of the WNW slope, which will be critical after the next snowfall. Otherwise, apart from small superficial slides that we triggered in terrain with over 35 degrees, no relevant observations.
Overall impression
Personal 3rd star for the casual line in glorious weather. All in all, fresh snow is urgently needed here too, as almost all activities are already material-intensive.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
