Avalanche warning level
low (1)
Exposition
Snow condition
Due to the many northern thaws at the beginning of winter, there is still good snow cover above 1800m, but unfortunately there is almost nothing left below 1500m due to the rain and warmth.
Snow quality
On the north side there was some nice cold powder that fell with little wind. However, as is almost always the case, the exposed crevasses have blown off at the top 30 meters and there is only an old, rock-hard surface of old snow.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Overall impression
Nice tour in the Karwendel. Unfortunately there were a lot of old avalanches, which probably came loose on 17.02.24 in the extremely warm and humid air with a dew point at about 2500m. Apart from that, you could ski beautiful powder snow in flatter areas without annoying crusts.
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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
