Kitzbühel Alps

Overall impression
Snow condition
Basically more or less unchanged since the end of December. A little snow in the valley, a little more on the mountain but not much anywhere. You can ski quite well in snow-covered terrain above the tree line or in moderate alpine terrain, but there's nothing in the forest, so you need a forest road, a piste or a flat meadow towards the valley - really poor overall for mid-February.
Snow quality
After it was still quite good yesterday, the high temperature (10 degrees at 2000m early in the morning) made the snow quite wet even on shady slopes, which limited the skiing fun accordingly, depending on the exposure the snow is damp or wet. The only thing that helps here is a load of fresh snow or, if necessary, a good freeze-through and subsequent re-freezing.
Risks
Especially on steep slopes, moist loose snow will come loose, otherwise it is certainly not super critical in the high altitudes of the Kitzbühel Alps.
Overall impression
Bad snow, after all, there's not much of it!
