Stubai Valley on 24.04.2021 | ChevChelios

Snow condition

Skiing down to the valley is still possible without any problems. The snow conditions haven't changed much since last week. It only looks a little worse on the south side, where the snow continues to pile up. In the ski area itself, however, all variants are still skiable, some with more and some with less shark danger.

Snow quality

If you are still looking for powder snow, you can currently still find it on the north and north-east side above approx. 2800m. The higher you get, the fluffier it gets (where the wind hasn't blown it away). Otherwise, you can find all kinds of snow in the other exposures at the moment. However, as we were only on the north and north-east side of the slope, I can't give an exact assessment.

The main danger at the moment is probably wet snow avalanches from sunny terrain. A large slide was visible near the Gamsgarten middle station. Otherwise, there were a few small, wet, loose snow slides. Good time planning is important, tours should be finished in good time. The LWD also warns of an old snow problem on the north side above 2600m. I have not noticed any avalanches in the area in this regard, but you should keep this in mind.

Overall impression

Mal wieder eine nette Steilflanke am Stubaier Gletscher gefahren. Dazu in der Flanke und im Auslauf noch guten Pulverschnee gefunden und keine einzige Line vorher drin gewesen. Haben die Stubaier Gletscher-Warrior alle ihre Saison schon beendet?
