Zillertal Alps South

Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions in the Brenner mountains are good and you can ski down to the valley very well. Due to the strong wind, some of the ridges and crests are blown off.
Snow quality
At the same time, the wind also determines the quality of the snow, so you can still find beautiful powder in the lee and below the tree line, while otherwise the snow cover is determined by a brittle windsnow cover.
Risks
Despite the reduction to warning level 2, the situation remains very tense. Due to the strong wind, the snow was displaced over a large area and old spontaneous snow slabs could be seen in various exposures. In the ridge region, we finally abandoned our ski tour as the snow profile showed two relevant weak layers and a lot of drifting snow.
Overall impression
Away from the endangered regions and below the tree line, you can have a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the tour had to be aborted due to the tricky avalanche situation at higher altitudes - hence only three stars in the overall rating.
