Snow report Alpenostrand, 12/28/2018
Mehr Frust als Lust - Schlechter Schnee und geräumte Pisten in den Mürzsteger Bergen
Alpenostrand
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Not a little anyway and again the familiar pattern: increasing rapidly and markedly with altitude. Nevertheless, at the bottom (approx. 1000m) it is a little too low to cover all the dead and damaged wood.
Snow quality
Nothing. Nothing at all! Very hard at the top (wind plus layer of water ice). In the middle, loose snow covered with a layer of glass (see photos), which was actually quite nice (if exhausting) for a slope for a short time. Then a forest road cleared to the bottom. Then wet snow at the bottom. Funny detail: The access road to a part of the village (the post bus came towards me) was easier to drive than the cleared forest road (hunting season ...).
Risks
According to LWD 2. no special signs, at the very top tree-free ridges largely blown off. The glass layer (if it doesn't thaw away) could become an unpleasant weak layer after the next snowfall (supposedly Sunday).
Overall impression
It was nothing today, even if the terrain did give a little hint that the area (Frein an der Mürz) is rightly popular in the eastern Austrian ski touring scene.
