Kitzbühel Alps on 13.01.2024 | winterkind

Snow condition

The fresh snow from last weekend has settled well. In the denser forest there is still a bit of snow to ski harmoniously. On the sunny side, you should still watch out for terrain traps (streams, holes, etc.).

Snow quality

Surprisingly good. Wind influence is easy to recognize and can be avoided without any problems. Only a few meters were properly capped by wind influence or by a thin crust on the sun side, the rest was absolutely fine.

Old sliding snow cracks are now halfway snowed in again and are not easy to recognize in poor visibility. Accumulations of drift snow can be recognized very well and can be avoided. Fortunately, the forecast NW-westerly wind did not arrive today while we were out and about.

Overall impression

Despite the great weather of the last few days, you could still get good lines in the area with skins and with solid snow conditions in the best weather without wind.
