Snow report Hochkönig, 01/17/2017
Freeriding on the Aberg. I was very disappointed with the snow conditions. But apart from that it was a very successful day with good powder!

Overall impression
Snow condition
As I said, the snow conditions are poor. There is a maximum of 50-70 cm of snow in total, less towards the bottom. Stone contact can often be avoided. But the sharks are only lightly snowed in and usually exactly where you want to pull a spray... So put the handbrake on again.
Snow quality
15-30 cm of nicely settled powder. pleasant to ski. At higher altitudes on open slopes, it's sometimes wind-pressed and occasionally covered with an unpleasant layer of harsh snow.
Risks
The avalanche situation was quite relaxed. On the north side, you can find some brittle drift snow in steep, blown-in gullies, which tends to roll a little. But nothing was really dramatic there either.
Overall impression
Nice Bluebird day. We actually expected a lot more snow, as there was also a lot more in the surrounding areas (Saalbach, Dienten). Well, it was great anyway
