Snow condition

Acceptable snow conditions in the Schmirntal. Skiing down to the valley is possible without any problems, above 2000m it gets considerably worse. In the sparse forest and in snow corridors it is also good further down, in the dense forest you probably need a little more to ski without danger.

Snow quality

Good powder snow throughout, from the summit to the parking lot. There was hardly any wind on the north and north-east sides, but there was considerably more wind on the west-side ascent.

On the south-facing meadow slopes, there were a few sliding snow avalanches that were quite considerable in size. Otherwise, the snow cover below 2200m made a stable impression, we didn't go any higher. There you probably have to pay more attention to drift snow and the possible old snow problem.

Overall impression

Leider erst mit leichter Verspätung in die Wintersaison gestartet, dafür einen guten Start erwischt und noch den Pulverschnee genutzt bevor der Regen in tiefen Lagen wohl viel kaputt machen wird.
