Overall impression
Snow condition
Not as bad as 2 years ago, but still pretty sobering. Stuben is green, Lech and St. Anton ditto. St. Christoph has something like a little snow. Up to approx. 2200 m altitude maybe 10 cm of ultra-compact snow cover. Then there is some in Rinnen, but there's nothing to do with it. In any case, the Föhn has only just missed out on 100% total destruction.
Snow quality
Artificial snow, artificial snow made of concrete over plank snow, but quite good on long stretches. Much better on the St. Anton side than on the Zürs side, where it's criminal.
Risks
Far too little snow up to 2200cm, then danger if any in extremely steep terrain and there in the filled gullies. Off-piste skiing goes from not at all to not at all anyway.
Overall impression
Nice to be on the Arlberg, but December definitely seems to be an autumn month, this is now the 3rd year that you'd almost rather go biking or fly to Asia.
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!
