Snow report Salzburger Land North, 02/13/2020

Snow condition

Not much has changed. From a purely visual point of view, the high areas look a bit better than before the last storm, but I'm not entirely sure. Otherwise, similar to the weekend. You can only get into the valley on very good surfaces or slopes. It's difficult to say exactly how much fresh snow has fallen. Maybe 10-15cm in calmer areas.

Snow quality

Just under 3*, but as I said, you have to look hard. On the one hand, there was already a lot of track from yesterday, on the other hand the wind and rain had really raged. Sometimes there were real slabs of ice and the old tracks were often really hard. The snow conditions change frequently in all expos and you have to be very focused on your skis. But then I found 2.3 (short) corners where almost all the snow was good.

Relatively stable in the middle areas where I played around. There was a lot of snow here too, but the snow conditions often change on a small scale, with quite compact snow layers in places. In the higher elevations (>2400m), there was a three-snow shower today and it was still blowing quite heavily from the N-W.

Overall impression

At first I thought today was going to be a washout: flat light in the morning, very changeable snow conditions with lots of ice and a lot of yesterday's tracks (I had hoped that not all the lifts were open yesterday).
But then the sun came out, the visibility improved and I found a few corners that nobody had skied yet and that had really good snow. That made up for it. However, today's tour might have been the better choice.
Fr and Sat tomorrow will probably still be quite usable, if you can find something windless and untracked, then it will unfortunately be tropical again.
