Snow condition

The snow conditions are still very good for the time of year. Here in Damüls it must have snowed quite a bit in the last few weeks. If it stayed cold for longer, the season could certainly be extended here. In places, the snow cover is still closed up to 1400m

Snow quality

Due to the massive warming, especially from midday onwards, the snow has slowed down considerably and the snow cover is completely soaked up to 2000m. Off-piste skiing at these altitudes is hardly worthwhile, slopes are still good, no stones, but hardly any progress on flat terrain.

Wet snow avalanches from steep slopes were very present, as well as cornice breaks and sliding snow snouts. There was also heavy deposition of Sahara dust on the snow cover

Overall impression

Schöner letzter Tag im Skigebiet Damüls. Die Möglichkeiten Abseits zu fahren waren aufgrund der extrem hohen Temperaturen begrenzt. Die damit einhergehende miserable Schneequalität und Einsicktiefe im Variantengelände holt einen schnell auf die Piste zurück. Hier schöner Sulz und vormittags auch noch ohne Dauerhandbremse durch den Schnee. Falls jemand noch eine Tour plant sind die Fotos vielleicht hilfreich bevor der Neuschnee kommt
