Overall impression
Snow condition
The snow conditions are more than satisfactory after the abundant snowfalls of the last week. There is also good snow in the valley for once! We were able to ski from the Pinzgau valley from the quarry onwards, but one star is deducted because in places there is no firm base on small tree stumps to be kicked out properly. The powder mushroom on top usually just breaks away.
Snow quality
Snow fell all day yesterday. With little wind in the valley. However, as the altitude increased, the wind picked up and the snow was blown away.
Risks
There is a serious avalanche situation. That's why we decided to turn back on the lake and sleep in the winter room of the service hut above the Postalm. A further ascent was too dangerous in the dense snow and steep terrain.
Overall impression
Despite a tour that was more reminiscent of classic cross-country skiing, today started with sunshine. That somewhat made up for yesterday with 12 hours of tracks and SnowFlurry until late at night and a summit we didn't reach. It was also very comfortable in the winter room.
