Snow condition

Descent into the valley only possible on forest road, and only just. Above approx. 1200 still too much snow. Watch out for ridges that were blown off and are now covered with fresh snow

Snow quality

10-15 cm of cold fresh snow - above approx. 1,900 m the snow is on soft old snow, below 1,900 m you can feel the rain crust. Therefore divided into two parts - from a certain altitude and on the north side dream powder today, further down just rain crust and hard old snow underneath

Drift snow only directly near the ridge and on a small scale. Keep an eye on it, not big but easy to trigger

Overall impression

Awesome day around Seefeld - top conditions on the north side and at altitude
