Snow report Salzburger Land North, 03/02/2019

Snow condition

Still good on the shaded side. For logistical reasons, I only skied down to 1200m, but you can definitely ski down to the valley (550m) in some places. (But then on a lot of dirt). On the sunny side it's bad at the bottom, but at the top there's often 2m of snow in sheltered areas. Today there was only a little snow from about 1200m upwards to about 15 cm.

Snow quality

Good. At the top about 15 cm of wet crusty snow, which was very easy to ski. Avoid places exposed to the wind, as there is often hard snow that has been swept away, and the old snow at the bottom is damp but great to ski. Fast and quite compact.

Low at the bottom. Mostly quite compact and no chute or similar, but already in the middle layers it blows violently with a heavy load. Smaller areas could be triggered very easily, but only about 5 cm thick. I would be very careful tomorrow in exposed and steep areas close to the ridge.

Overall impression

Good, unfortunately too short ride, which in its entirety loses the 4th star due to the strong, unpleasant wind in the summit area and a few too many people for me.
Freak's report would also fit our region well, except that there seems to be more at the bottom.
But at the top there was a nice, untracked line to be found and at the bottom the tracked line was also good to ride.
The area would certainly have been worthwhile.
