Exposition
Snow condition
Just like last time. Poor snow conditions for the time of year, but you can go full throttle on most slopes without fear of rocks. We weren't on the south side today, but not much should have changed since last week: there are plenty of sharks lurking below 2200m. On the north side, you can swim in the powder without any worries.

Snow quality
Stormy winds have blown the snow a lot. Nevertheless, it was nice powdering today. However, you didn't sink in particularly deep and there were only faceshots with strong braking turns. The drifting snow was easy to ride without having to be careful not to cut through it. Old tracks were more blown over than snowed in, but didn't really bother us.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: strong
Above: 1900 m
Risks
Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
Extensive accumulations of drift snow and signs of wind were visible today. You have to watch out for stones near the ridge.
Overall impression
There were probably better destinations for the nordstau today with more fresh snow, but in Kühtai it was possible to powder passably without stress - even if not quite as deep.
