Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Altitude
1300 - 2100m
Avalanche warning level
moderate (2)
Exposition
Snow condition
Nothing at all at the bottom and on the south side - from 1500 and in a sheltered location, a usable base (0.5-1m base). On top of that 20-30 cm of fresh snow from the past few days.
Snow quality
Very variable: cold powder to wet fresh snow depending on exposure.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: low
Above: 1900 m
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Close to the ridge and in the gullies, drift snow is still accessible - floes up to 40 cm thick, so quite relevant.
Avalanche activity
Dry slab avalanche
Altitude: 2000 m
Snow slab near the ridge in drift snow.
Overall impression
We took advantage of the relatively stable conditions to ride the gullies around the Obertauern. At the right altitude and expo, there's a lot of dust - but the surface you occasionally hit is rather hard.

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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
