Overall impression
Snow condition
Yesterday there was about 20cm of fresh snow at about 2000m, so the old tracks are mostly covered again. The general lack of snow doesn't change much, but the snow conditions here are still better than in many other areas in Tyrol. With occasional contact with the ground and some caution, you can ski quite well above the tree line.
Snow quality
Still really good powder snow on the shady slopes, partly influenced by the wind. Already heavily baked on the sunny side, but all in all you could catch it quite well today.
Risks
I would still be cautious, especially with the warming of the fresh snow. It was also quite windy today, and at least on the ridges there was more snow. Drift snow will probably be the main problem at the moment, although the well-known old snow problem shouldn't be completely forgotten.
Overall impression
You get modest...One of the better days of the last few months, so I'll give it 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!
