Dolomites on 11.01.2023 | Bergaster

Snow quality

Powder snow, crushed snow, pressed snow, everything was there today, depending on the altitude.

Overall impression

After a long break, I'm back in the Dolomites. It snowed 5-10 cm on Monday, which unfortunately was transported above the tree line yesterday in a strong northerly wind. In an area around 1800 m, +/-150 m, the powdery fresh snow lies on a layer of old snow. Here you can make some nice turns on meadow slopes. The higher up you get, the more the wind has worked and the snow cover appears, alternating with wind-pressed snow. There should be some snow at the end of the week or the beginning of next week. Let's hope so.
