Overall impression
Snow condition
I haven't seen the forest around the Styrian Niederalpl (1220m) so deeply snowed in for a long time. If it really continues to snow as heavily as it is at the moment until the weekend, there will be a fifth star: the whole forest (as long as the trees aren't completely dense, of course) is now a fun playground full of pillows, drivable ditches, etc.
Snow quality
Drop in temperature. Today in the valley (approx. 700m) only -6 degrees. Up on the mountain (1400m) up to -12 degrees. This means fluffy powder wherever the wind/storm can't take hold.
Risks
4s. Outside the forest, storm and hardly any to zero visibility (heavy snowfall in places, storm with heavy snowfall). Drifts right into the forest. Surprisingly little sluff in the deep forest (downwind and far away from the open areas), even on the steeps.
Overall impression
Impressive day. Snow up to the waist and above is not uncommon.
The slopes that are skiable and not affected by the wind might even have earned 5 stars. But overall, the location is too affected by the storm and poor visibility for the highest rating.

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!
