Snow condition

Meanwhile the umpteenth restart this winter. Overnight there was around 35 cm of fresh snow, which rose to >40 cm in wind-protected corners as the altitude increased. Unfortunately, there was hardly any old snow left, so the fresh snow can only really be used in corners with a base. Streams and all terrain traps are not snowed in. Wind-exposed terrain is more or less snow-free. Where there was still snow, 2 stars, where there was a fresh start, 1 star.

Snow quality

The 2nd big surprise today (apart from the amount of fresh snow), the fresh snow was really fluffy to ride and there was a lot of dust. The temperature only dropped in the second half of the night.

Today, the main danger on the meadow terrain came from terrain traps, and that at the end of February (!). The wind transported the fresh snow into wind-exposed terrain. During the tour today, there was often sleet in the precipitation.

Overall impression

Ein etwas überraschender, guter Powdertag. Dazu die 3. Überraschung, es war für ein WE in den Faschingsferien so gut wie nichts los (Dafür gibt es den 4. Stern).
