Snow report East Tyrol-North Carinthia, 11/30/2020

Snow condition

Snow on the south side on the normal route from the Lucknerhaus from about 2600m. Skis remained on the backpack until the ski depot as it was more comfortable to walk. Crevasses and the edge crevasse are at least visually closed, the latter only very thinly snowed in according to local experts

Snow quality

Glocknerleitl unrideable. Very hard and icy below. Crossing and descent from here directly onto the Ködnittkees too exposed/too little snow. So we climbed down again. On the Ködnitzkees soft snow and fast skiing and nice turns possible. In gullies over the ascent tracks down to 2600 m skiable but rather miserable conditions where you wonder why you have the skis with you.

We had avalanche transceiver equipment with us despite the unsafe conditions. It was cold. Everything was super hard and for avalanches mostly little snow or very well set

Overall impression

On the way to the summit, we only met a few very friendly people. I could have done without skis on my backpack. But I was happy on the descent! From what I hear, good mixed and north face conditions at the moment.
For high-altitude ski tours, you need a lot of motivation for long ascents, depending on the starting point.
