Tannheimer Tal on 12.01.2022 | htg_other ski tour in the tannheimer tal, so as not to be called a "waste of time" ;-)

Snow condition

in the northern part of the tannheimer tal, the descent only makes sense on one piste. at approx. 1000m there is a maximum of 5cm of powdery fresh snow, on nothing. the pistes are also quite rocky in places. there is clearly too little snow for the relevant modetour (ponten) in this area, so i changed my plans during the ascent. stone contact cannot be avoided, even with a foresighted and defensive skiing style. exposed areas are quite blown off in all expos.

Snow quality

as suspected/expected, still good pow, also in expo-s. it was quite cold again today and that was good for the snow.

the tiroler einser, for below 2400m, is ok. there is just too little snow for any boards or slides. even some very steep and blown-in gullies were skied today without triggering big loose snow slides or even snowboards.

Overall impression

will get worse.
