Snow report Alpenostrand, 02/15/2017
Eisenerzer Reichenstein / Rote Rinne Wonderful tour with an interesting ascent.
Alpenostrand
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Very blown out on the north side (ascent). In gullies and hollows, the conditions vary from hard snow to old powder. On the south side, the white splendor soon becomes scarce. On the north-east side (descent), perfect firn with some powder (I couldn't believe it). Depending on the course of the sun, there's firn, slush, powder or meadow. With good tours and good timing, you can still get some really great runs.
Snow quality
As described above, the quality varies greatly depending on the exposure. It was around -5 degrees in the shady ascent gully. On the south-facing ascent after the descent, we climbed up to the next descent in our T-shirts. We were extremely lucky with the time and the exposure. The powder and firn were already very good.
Risks
LWS 2 Large snow mouths on slopes with lots of sunlight. Small spontaneous slide on south.
Overall impression
Better than expected. Borders more on jump skiing but good jump skiing.
