Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
We stayed below the tree line today. No danger signs yesterday (low wind and low snowfall). Today, due to the storm, drifting snow also in the forest area.
Overall impression
We spent the weekend on the Styrian Seeberg (Seewiesen / Hochschwab). On both days there was repeated snowfall, on Sunday then medium intensity with a total of 5-10 cm of fresh snow. According to the LWD weather stations, there should be noticeably more fresh snow towards the north (Niederalpl). Overall, it's now much better than a week ago. With careful tour selection and caution in the terrain, the conditions are quite suitable for skiing. In the mini ski area on the Styrian Seeberg, which was closed today due to a storm, we even found a few nice (albeit short) ski slopes with real powder, which in places was much deeper than a mouse's knee. Therefore clearly 2 stars. At least an enjoyable ascent is already possible in the forest.
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!
