Still too little fresh snow - trigger readiness high

Overall impression
Snow condition
Good at the top. The descent to Schruns just goes down to the valley; gets thin.
Snow quality
Unfortunately it was nothing today: overnight there was a maximum of 10 cm in the Silvretta-Montafon area, which blew over a large area and the hard tracks and moguls came through. Still, it was enough for a few nice short runs next to the piste.
Risks
Most of the fresh drift snow is lying on a hard cover of harsh snow; where the snow has been blown in, the fresh snow immediately comes off as a small snow slab. The thickness is rather low, the risk of burial is also low at the moment, but absolute caution is advised: behind ridges, in hollows, behind terrain edges and where there is a hard snow cover underneath, the whole thing goes immediately.
Overall impression
Nothing major today: it was enough for a few nice short and powdery runs off the piste. Often windy and poor visibility.
But important info for the coming days: lots of drift snow packs already, which are very easy to trigger.
Strong winds today and persistent snow drifting; with more fresh snow, the next few days are sure to be exciting.
