Hintertux Glacier on 24.05.2025 | bergjunge

Snow condition

At the highest altitudes it is quite ok, but there is not much there either. below 2300-2500 it stops very quickly.

Snow quality

Yo, quite nice. There wasn't any really fluffy, dry stuff to be found, but it was still good overall. On the west side, there was some wind further up and where the sun was, the powder quickly became heavier, but not terribly slow or sticky. It was very regular, especially on the flatter slopes, so it was easy to keep going.

It was partly influenced by the wind, but I didn't see much drift snow. You just have to watch out for warming or water ingress over the next few days.

Overall impression

Was that my last day of the (for me modest) season? I hope not... :D Unfortunately, the visibility was very changeable and the light was often flat, but otherwise it was cool. It was already too warm for dry powder, but fortunately not really hot yet. There's still a while to go up there. The park looks very good.
