Snow report Stubai Valley, 12/14/2013
Nicht allzuviel Schnee, dafür ist er auch nicht gerade gut.
Stubai Valley
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Quite moderate. Significantly better than further north, in many areas above 2500m it is quite possible to ride off the beaten track, even if much of it is simply completely blown off.
Snow quality
Mostly pretty bad. The almost 5 cm of fresh snow overnight didn't change much (optically at most). Even in blown-in areas, you can get through to the base everywhere. Unfortunately, this is completely hard almost everywhere (melt and wind harsh), as well as often heavily rutted. On higher shaded slopes you break through the crust, otherwise it is usually stable. Slopes that are protected from the wind and not yet rutted are reasonably ok. There you can have some fun on the hard base with a small layer of fresh snow.
Risks
Everything is quite hard, warning level 1, should be fine at the moment. The current snow situation is certainly more limiting than the avalanche situation. In many areas, however, a lot of deep frost has formed under the crust, which will probably be with us for quite a long time...
Overall impression
Well, at least the weather is good, and a bit of exercise doesn't hurt either...

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
