Snow report Arlberg, 01/30/2015
YEAAAHAAAWWWWW - resounds through the mountains. Seriously - it was madness today.

Overall impression
Snow condition
The location is now quite acceptable. Many descents are possible. There is actually no more contact. When sliding down through the forest at just under 1000m, the odd patch of grass came through.
Snow quality
ONE OF THOSE DAYS - I think the 50m long blower track in the photo stands for itself. No wind, no hard snow, no cover - just blowers. There were faceshoots on open slopes (if you don't blast down the slopes at Mach 3). I haven't had anything like that yet this season.
Risks
We were surprised. The forecasts from neighboring Tyrol and the weather stations did not bode well. The LLB reinforced this impression. However, we didn't see any real slides or spontaneous releases. The amount of snow quickly starts to slide down steep slopes and then rushes down into the valley next to you. Nevertheless, you should take care, as the fresh snow covers everything old.
Overall impression
The day stays in your head...for a long time! That's 5 stars for me. This snow quality and that at Bluebird.
