Of course a lower four in terms of snow depth, but definitely a very good amount of snow considering this year's winter. In a long-term comparison, however, I would only have given it a 3.

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Wind drifted snow

Very inhomogeneous. In the valley (up to approx. 1400m) frozen melted snow cover (thin). At some point during the last precipitation phase there was rain. Further up dry old snow, still soft in parts protected from the wind. Otherwise very different up to broken snow.

The 2 applies to areas above the tree line, below 1. The avalanche warning level dropped very quickly after the heavy snowfall period (up to 1m of fresh snow). The "No danger signs" notice applies to the area of our ski tour route (Blasenegg). In the steep southern flanks there were numerous snow mouths to be seen - many of which had already gone down as sliding snow avalanches.

Heute Nacht soll Wetterverschlechterung mit Schneefall und schlechter Sicht kommen. Ab nächste Woche ist starke Erwärmung prognostiziert.
