Snow report Brandnertal / Rätikon, 01/17/2021

Snow condition

Another 30-40 cm added. In the meantime it's getting better and better, but a few posts in the forest that border the pasture are still too deep. You're still sinking in too deep, but otherwise you can drive more and more. We are slowly getting back to a good level.

Snow quality

DEEP, unbelievably deep in some places. Light and everything you could wish for. On flat terrain, you just plow through the snow. Even the wife had fun in the forest, the snow is so easy to drive. On open areas, you almost snorkel through the deep snow. It's absurd. I can hardly remember a deeper day and my 140cm poles easily disappear in the masses. Hardly any resistance when I put them in.

Things are becoming more and more relaxed. We haven't seen any spontaneous departures. We haven't heard any more extreme subsidence and it's getting better and better in the forest. I wouldn't venture above the tree line yet.

Overall impression

Hardly any people in the area. 15 cars in the parking lot. First lines from early to late. Nipple deep all day. Perfect snow.

I don't see how treeskiing could be better.

1m and more in the forest and you can ski it without having to go down steep slopes. Absurd.

You can see it in the photo of my wife, she sinks in up to her hips and swims through the snow. Never experienced it like that. 100% stoke.

Sorry for the pictures, had to take them off the camera. Cable has disappeared.
