Overall impression
Snow condition
Still bad. It's probably starting to get better above 2000m in blown-in areas, but it doesn't often go that far up in the Kitzbühel Alps. Below around 1300m, the fresh snow is covering up the stones that are sticking out everywhere, in the valley it's still not clear.
Snow quality
There was a good 20cm of fresh snow at 2000m, but it fell with a lot of wind, so you can't call it powder. There is still some damp but soft drift snow in places, but unfortunately even in the shade below approx. 1700m the snow is already really wet. You can ski it, but it's not really good.
Risks
In addition to drift snow, which can be found practically everywhere above the tree line, you also have to watch out for wet snow. Certainly not overly critical, especially as there is generally almost no snow in the areas with wet snow...
Overall impression
Unfortunately, expectations were not met today, yesterday would have been nice, at least if you ignore the chronic lack of snow.

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!
