Snow condition

The snow conditions on the Arlberg are still good and you can do a lot with it. Well-snowed-in old tracks didn't spoil the downhill fun today and there was little or no need to worry about stones.

Snow quality

Fine powder snow in the north-facing terrain, which is partly soft and partly somewhat harder layers, but is still very easy to ski. There were no old tracks to be felt and so the 20 cm of fresh snow that fell today without the influence of wind was really usable and fine to use.

Close to the ridge, there is definitely a strong wind influence and drifts that need to be taken into account. You can tell that the wind has worked hard in places, but the snow cover has already solidified somewhat.

Overall impression

Schöner Tourentag am Arlberg mit guter Aussicht, top Wetter und sehr feinem Schnee. Natürlich könnte es etwas mehr Schnee sein, aber man soll ja zufrieden sein mit dem was aktuell vorhanden ist. Lohnt sich jedenfalls, etwas weiter zu laufen und dafür unverspurte Hänge fahren zu können.
