Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions in the Kitzbühel Alps are still good. Today we were able to ski down to around 1000 m without any problems. Only pure south-facing slopes no longer look so inviting at lower altitudes. However, forest paths are being cleared and terrain obstacles such as streams etc. are slowly appearing.
Snow quality
In the morning it was well frozen and we skied down to about 1950 m on the east side at around 10:15 am. The upper part was nicely firned up and as the altitude dropped it got a bit deeper (approx. 1300 m).
Risks
The main danger on today's tour came from the daytime course. With the sunshine and the "summer" temperatures, the snow cover becomes damp quite quickly. Start early and finish your activities early.
Overall impression
Beautiful weather, hardly any wind and solid downhill conditions. The snow cover looks quite interesting with the rain.
