Snow report Salzburger Land North, 04/25/2016

Snow condition

The 2nd star is only available above 2000m... At the bottom there is just as little as before, except that you are allowed to ascend through 20 cm of fluffy powder from about 1300m, but cannot ski down to that point due to a lack of base. If necessary, you can slide down to about 1400m on the north side. You have to watch out for hidden rocks everywhere. Above 2000m it gets really good and deep.

Snow quality

Really great at the top. Fluffy, deep and only in a few places a slight wind influence, but that doesn't bother you, sometimes you get through to a hard layer of harsh snow, but even that only occasionally, from about 1700m it was a bit wetter and more difficult, but still good to ski.

Still moderate with restrictions on steep flanks close to the crest, where some snow was blown in, and I saw a fresh slab with a considerable width, but only a small crack thickness. At an ECT (up to 1.3m depth) at about 2100m, north-facing, about 25°, nothing could be triggered. The old snow cover under the two new snow packs is soaked through to the ground.

Overall impression

Very nice, exceptionally quiet tour in wintry conditions and pleasantly fresh temperatures. The light was a little flat, otherwise good conditions. Weak to moderate wind from the SE at the summit. With the low temperatures apparently set to stay and a bit of fresh supply tomorrow, Thursday should be a really good day!
