Overall impression
Snow condition
In the valley, it's still not enough for a descent. But it gets much better with increasing lake altitude. The critical limit is somewhere between 1300-1400m. After that it increases rapidly. Ridges and crests are heavily blown off. Troughs are now well filled and can be skied.
Snow quality
Cold and light where there was no wind. Everything above the tree line could have already arrived in Tyrol. Wind-pressed snow in many places. If you find the right runs, there's a steady stream of face shots.
Risks
Critical! I wouldn't sign the 2 up to 1800m. Too much wind and too much blowing. In some places, it was also +-35 degrees today. Small parcels could easily be triggered. Overall, due to the poor visibility etc., an assessment is difficult/not possible. If you don't know the area like the back of your hand, stay at home.
Overall impression
It was good, definitely. The strong wind and icy temperatures were a challenge. Ice on my face after a few meters was standard. But where it was good, it was an extremely fine day!

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
