Wildspitze on 07.11.2021 | Sumedum

Snow condition

Descent from the Mitterbergjoch on foot, there are still some stones sticking out. The ascent is possible with skins. We climbed up on the rope but skied down without - in obviously crevassed zones in the track, otherwise in beautiful powder snow. I've rarely been in high alpine terrain this early, so I can't compare it to other years.

Snow quality

Super powder snow, no wind cover despite good wind today. Sink depth approx. 20-30 cm.

Few relevant observations from our side. According to the LWD Tyrol blog, there are wind-influenced layers under the top layer that fell with little wind. To be honest, we haven't dug a profile etc. in the rather flat terrain.

Overall impression

Super Auftakt! Traum Wetter, super Schnee und erstaunlich wenig Leute :-) Die Varianten Gipfelrinne und über den Nordgipfel wurden heute auch beide befahren.
