Endlich wieder etwas Powder unter den Füßen
Sölden, Ötztal

Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions in Sölden are quite ok at the moment. But unfortunately, like almost everywhere, it's still a bit below average and contact with stones can't be completely avoided. In the last two days, there has been about 30-40cm of fresh snow above 2000m. Much less below that, in the valley it was only a few centimetres.
Snow quality
Unfortunately, it was very warm again today. At 2000m it was just about zero degrees in the shade. So the powder was quite heavy. In the glacier area, however, there were still one or two fluffy slopes to be found.
Risks
According to the LLB warning level 3, the report is pretty accurate. The drifting snow slopes were difficult to recognize. Towards the afternoon, a few small snow slides could also be observed. Somewhere in the area of the upper part of the Gaißlachkogel gondola there was probably also an avalanche today. But I didn't get any more details on whether people were involved.
Overall impression
Another decent day where there were a few really nice descents.
