Karspitze - Kleinsölktal
Eastern Alps South

Overall impression
Snow condition
Surprisingly little snow in the (dense) forest up to 1400 despite the shady location. Above that, the snow cover increased rapidly and snowed in very well.
Snow quality
Very nice powder snow with surface frost on top in the alpine pasture area and above. Harsh near the ridge and on the crest.
Risks
Since the day before yesterday a 2. Fresh sliding snow avalanches (down to the ground) could be seen in extremely steep terrain. Above the tree line there were signs of wind and on a slope with a temperature of approx. 33 degrees there were suddenly very strong booming noises. Luckily we were already at a safe spot. But there was no crack / snow slab.
Overall impression
The dream slopes (including great snow) were marred by a forest zone typical of the area, which we ultimately overcame mostly on the forest road. Nevertheless, a (close) four-star day.
