Snow report Sölden, Ötztal, 11/17/2017
Saisonstart in Obergurgl
Sölden, Ötztal
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Good for November, but also blown away again by the wind. Descent into the valley is possible. In sheltered areas there is also about 20 cm of relatively fresh snow. However, many areas are heavily blown off! Especially the backs and ridges are heavily blown away. In some variants there is hardly any snow left.
Snow quality
To find good snow, you have to look in areas sheltered from the wind. Mostly strongly influenced by the wind. A more or less pronounced cap can often be found. Especially northwest above approx. 2300mMh strongly blown off.
Risks
Wind signs everywhere. Despite the little snow, I would therefore be careful! Stones are still hardly snowed in, so don't underestimate this danger either.
Overall impression
Fine start. Also some snow for November, but limited freeriding opportunities due to the strong winds.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
