Vinschgau on 16.12.2021 | htg_other grand beau, with extremely "variable" snow distribution

Snow condition

above 2200m good. below that far too little and much totally blown off.

Snow quality

far too little below 2200m. above that, partial pow and all expos strongly influenced by wind, partly supporting wind cover.

when digging a snow profile, incl. load test, expo o, at 2400m, approx. 33°, we were able to find both the weak old snow foundation and the thick drift snow deposits above it. however, we were unable to trigger anything after 30 hits.
