Snow report Alpenostrand, 12/16/2018
Exclusive skiing pleasure on the far north-eastern edge of the Alps
Alpenostrand
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Approx. 10 to 20 cm. on a stoneless meadow slope. We only uncovered the snow cover right down to the bottom when we were carelessly swinging down. For local conditions within sight of the Danube, actually very good for the time of year.
Snow quality
Cold, dry fresh snow that has been consolidated a little by the (light) wind. It actually felt like being in the real mountains.
Risks
Not an issue on the meadow slopes of the Vienna Woods.
Overall impression
It's rare enough that you can enjoy skiing the "classics" of the Vienna Woods these days (many of these slopes were popular ski meadows in their day and are still described in old ski touring guides from the 1970s). Despite not even that much fresh snow (maximum 20cm), today was such a day. Funnily enough, we weren't even alone, but (in addition to various tobogganing groups) at least 2 other tourers (including Telemark skiers) were out and about.
