Snow report Kitzbühel Alps, 01/25/2019
Touring Alpbach, out of office
Kitzbühel Alps
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
There is also snow in the deep and warm Inntal valley, and even more so in the Alpbachtal valley. From PP everything is well covered in snow. 10 cm of fresh snow from the night on very well set and massive, homogeneous old snow. Unfortunately, the old tracks weren't covered in snow today, it wasn't enough.
Snow quality
The fresh snow was fluffy. Good to ride but no faceshots, not fresh enough and probably not cold enough.
Risks
Very little surface frost. Loose snow slides in steep terrain with point-like cracks but not very thick, therefore harmless today. No sliding snow cracks visible but drifting snow, massive drifting. In the steep east-facing terrain, the fresh snow has fallen on a hard crust of old snow, unconnected, with more fresh snow certainly a potential danger.
Overall impression
Good tour even without a summit, great company. Nice to be out of office.... Only the sun made itself scarce when it was supposed to shine for the descent.

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!
