Snow report Kitzsteinhorn, 05/30/2019

Snow condition

Still quite good, even if some passages are already snowing out further up. Almost everything up to 2000m is skiable without any problems. According to the measuring stations, the snow depth on the glacier is around 4 m. From Tue-Thu about 50 cm of fresh snow was added at the top, at 2000 m still about 20 cm and the descent to Langwied can be done without any problems.

Snow quality

Pretty good, although not a cold blower. Despite sub-zero temperatures in the morning at altitude, the fresh snow was already settled and a bit heavier, but still great to ride. By midday, the diffuse radiation was increasing and the snow was getting warmer.

Due to the significant amount of fresh snow and the warming, I would rate it as partly critical overall. A few fresh slopes were recognizable, although this was still limited overall, and it will really rumble with the increasing heat on the Woe. Steep and sunny areas should be avoided.

Overall impression

It could actually have been really good - if we had seen anything... ;)
The snow was great and there was a lot of it, but the lack of visibility meant we only had the courage to zoom along the edges of the slopes, but we still managed to make a few face contacts.
And it was quite fun too.
Contrary to the forecast, the visibility got even worse towards the afternoon.
All in all, there wasn't much going on, but due to the limited choice of lifts, it did add up in some areas.
