Schöner Firntag in der Schobergruppe....
East Tyrol-North Carinthia
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Bad. Despite the high starting point, you have to carry relatively far. There is only real snow from about 2400m, in gullies and avalanche tracks it goes further down, and it feels a bit better north of the main ridge.
Snow quality
It froze really well today, from top to bottom. Due to the dry air, however, it didn't really want to firn up high... 1st descent was around 9:30 a.m., the 2nd about 1 hour later, but in the sun and further down it was really nice firn and for the first time in a while there was no swamp at the bottom.
Risks
Low, if you keep an eye on the diurnal cycle, exposure and temperature. A lot has already gone and the snow cover was very compact and hard for a long time today.
Overall impression
Beautiful day, even if the approaching end always makes me sad... Nice snow, new skis are great and a Mankei stopped by at the first summit...
