Ski tour in the Carnic ridge on 31.01.2022 | mischi

Snow condition

No underground contact down to all expos except south. there up to min. 2300 aper.

Snow quality

everything that is no fun. from slab powder, to broken and frozen alt tracks, to a few turns of funky pow - the only conclusion is sh***. only in shady, wind-protected eastern slopes old set full throttle snow (estimated 2 degrees expo).

Small-scale drift snow packs, but there they can be released like clods. overall, however, everything is pretty much concreted over.

Overall impression

Dreariness before the storm (without snow). Horrible conditions in almost all expos. Thanks to the many possibilities in this magnificent terrain, you can still spend good days. Beware of compacted snow on the steep slopes. Many steep gullies are likely to be hard to unrideable.
