Kitzbühel Alps on 25.02.2024 | winterkind

Snow condition

A brief update, as there have been some changes, especially in the snow conditions, and not for the better. The current position of the sun and the spring-like temperatures do not allow any meaningful activities in the south/southeast sector below 1500 m on the second day after the precipitation.

Snow quality

I was only out and about in the wind-protected northern sector. There was butter-soft "lightly" set powder snow. Everything that has seen sun and wind is no longer fun.

The influence of the wind could be felt today in the summit regions and on the ridge. Old tracks from yesterday were more or less covered up again. Accumulations of drift snow were manageable in moderate terrain close to the ridge and easy to avoid. I would be critical of steep lee-side entrances.

Overall impression

Nochmal ein top Tag bei bestem Wetter und ordentlicher Schneequalität.
