Salzburger Land North

Overall impression
Snow condition
Can give 3 stars contrary to expectations. Deep snow down to the parking lot. No more ground contact even in the (light) forest (thanks to the base here in the east).
Snow quality
Very, very fine in the forest and in the immediate vicinity: deep, soft, quiet, heavenly. However, the storm has gnawed away at open slopes - on ridges and summits anyway - and you can tell that there is pressed snow under the recent, calmly fallen fresh snow. Above the forest (presumably) a lot of completely blown off areas.
Risks
LLB level 3 above 1400m. We were mostly below this altitude and yet we avoided the tempting steep slope today. That would have been face shots without exception - or burial. Some of the wind signs are no longer so easy to see because the last ~10cm have come quite calmly, so be careful, stay longer le'm!
Overall impression
Stay below the tree line in forest slopes and aisles, that's where you get the first cream! If you hit it right, like we did today on the middle, unfortunately too short slope, you're due 4 stars.
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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
