Kitzbühel Alps on 24.02.2024 | winterkind

Snow condition

The snowfall of around 30 cm has brought winter back. However, the snow lies on bare ground below approx. 1400 m, especially on the sunny side. In the summit area it is around 35 cm. Terrain traps are very present in the area below 1400 m; you should navigate carefully there. In general, the snow conditions are not particularly abundant. You can only reach the valley on north-facing forest paths.

Snow quality

We started on the south side. There was already a slight settlement there in the early morning, but it was very easy to ride. By mid-morning, the party was over on the sunny side (the sun and temperatures were working hard) and we switched to the north side. There was dusty powder (4 stars). The bottom line is three stars.

At the start, snow plumes could be seen in the summit regions. However, there was no wind in the area all day. The accumulations of drift snow near the ridges were very small. On the sunny side, the snow was already sliding slightly in the middle of the morning.

Overall impression

Good day in the area. Good lines found in the best weather. Only the lack of snow at lower altitudes spoiled the fun a little.
