Snow report Kaunertal, 05/02/2022

Snow quality

5 stars powder snow on the ascent 4 stars for the descent as the snow got a bit too much difusses light. Nevertheless a dream.

Sluff management is important. A lot of loose snow comes along. On sunny slopes there are also wet slides, but in our case they never got big

Overall impression

Tracks are hard work from 35 degrees There was about 25 cm of fresh snow on the north side on a powdery base. Went down via the Gepatschferner Munich variant. The Gepatsch Tongue seemed less snow-covered and crevassed. You can get down to the parking lot in the Kaunertal valley by taking off your skis twice and carrying about 20 meters. That won't be possible for long. But at the moment there is still good snow on this variant. Weißseespitze north face would have tempted us but at the moment there are better lines with better snow. Skiing too steeply is not advisable at the moment due to sluff activity. Better to wait a few days for the snow to hold better. If there's some more snow, it could still be possible for a few weeks. 25 cm of powder in May is a good start.
