Snow report Montafon, 01/18/2020

Snow condition

There is still far too little snow. What's more, visibility was still very poor today. There's a bit more going on in the forest above 1800m at the moment, as today's snow was nice and fluffy. Otherwise, the whole area is interspersed with fat mouths, which also invite you to play. Of course, you can't ski down into the valley and I would estimate today's snowfall at max. 10 - 15cm. Attention in steeper terrain (from 35 degrees) there is hardly any base left.

Snow quality

Two stars again today. The fresh snow was extremely fluffy and just great, but everywhere we went... almost in all exposures there was a very icy or hard surface .... if there was one. So the fresh snow deserves 3-4 stars ... the shitty base on the other hand -1 .

Today was a 2 above 1800m and a 1 below. Personally, I would have easily left the 1 up to 2300m. Yes, there was a bit of sluff from time to time, but as the snow was so extremely fluffy, I had no concerns at all. And it was also cold.

Overall impression

Well, what can you say... extremely shitty base, the top 10cm are quite nice and the visibility is zero. The ski area is already chopped up. It closed at 1pm... that says it all.
