Snow report Bregenzerwald, 02/08/2014

Snow condition

In the meantime, the base is sufficient for almost all runs, but it's just not normal that there are still patches of grass sticking out on the sunny slopes. While we were promised a little mini dump, all we got was some sugar. You could certainly have fun in the forest if there was only one base (and not everything was closed)

Snow quality

Rather disappointing, I'm waiting for the really good days. There's a bit of snow on top every week, but unfortunately it thaws and makes a really unsightly base. You can't really judge the quality of the snow.

You could feel the wind from yesterday. There was a lot of blowing snow on many slopes and only a few south-facing slopes were skiable with a good feeling. Even below 2000m (llb 2) there was often a queasy feeling. This morning, when I was "poking at the snow with a stick", it immediately triggered the snow, so you have to be very careful in some places.

Overall impression

It remains as it is. The season probably won't knock anyone's socks off in the Bregenzerwald. The traffic jams are simply missing :-/ If you're lucky, you can catch a few good turns, but they're not always easy to find.
