Netter Tag in Kappl

Overall impression
Snow condition
At the top of the mountain, almost 1.50 meters base, decreasing significantly towards the valley, approx. 20 cm in Kappl itself. Above about 1800-2000 meters, depending on exposure and sunlight, we still found about 20-30 cm of fluffy snow. East-facing ridges were much more blown off (and the slopes had less snow) than west-facing ones.
Snow quality
As the day progressed, the snow became much heavier on the south and west sides, but in the morning there was pretty nice powder snow in all exposures above about 1800 m.
Risks
According to the LLB a 3! I don't trust the steeper east and north exposures above about 2000 meters in Tyrol this year. There are many weak layers in the snowpack structure. The accumulating ("floating") snow in particular is highly visible on the shaded side and will probably remain a danger throughout the winter!
Overall impression
The first real powder turns in Tyrol that I've been able to enjoy this year. In addition, the beautifully playful and varied terrain gave us a pretty good "stoke" yesterday.
The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
