Some fresh snow in the Kitzbühel Alps

Overall impression
Snow condition
Still ok, but not optimal. I'm not sure how much has melted here due to the foehn, rain and high temperatures, or how much there was a week ago, but at the moment it's only recommended on meadow slopes and in higher, open forest, and in denser forest and stony terrain it's really cracking.
Snow quality
Very nice fluffy fresh snow, at about 2000m it will have been just under 20cm, so you often get through to the base, which is usually frozen hard. This is particularly unpleasant when there are old tracks, but all in all it's still good.
Risks
Critical. Lots of wind, cold on warm, we stayed on flat terrain or below the tree line.
Overall impression
Ok. A little more fresh snow and significantly more base would give the missing two stars.
