Ski tour in the Kaiser fridge
Kitzbühel Alps
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Sufficient snow for a smooth descent, ground contact only possible at a wind-blown spot and in the deep forest. The tour hardly gets any sun, so the snow is preserved.
Snow quality
Nice powder, cold but settled, depth 10cm, no more. Hoarfrost crystals on the snowpack at the bottom, good for skiing. On steeper slopes but no surface frost (potentially dangerous with new snow).
Risks
Remained below 1,800m. In the shady, steeper SW slope at approx. 1850m, a board came off at approx. 20m, crack height probably approx. 20cm, a few thick loose snow slides from the steep rocky slopes at the edge of the tour. All in all unproblematic today.
Overall impression
Beautiful tour, snow without a lid - you're happy to put up with the cold and shade.
