Snow report Montafon, 11/19/2017

Snow condition

By the end of the day it was around 30 cm! It snowed all day long. Unfortunately, there was a lot of windblown snow > 2,000 m. Accumulations of drift snow are piling up next to the slopes and all the exposed areas that are visible are completely free. The SF limit today was around 500 m. In my opinion, a good base has formed between 1,500-2,000 m.

Snow quality

Very fine and really deep without the influence of the wind! There was a lot of dust where the many people were surfing through the fresh snow today. The terrain close to the piste was plowed :-)

Critical avalanche situation above 2,000 m. Lots of wind and fresh snow over 25 cm. From the tree line it's much more relaxed, but even here things can start to slide in steep terrain (approx. > 38°) up to approx. 1,400 m. As the lifts are not running during the week, the whole thing can settle down. And from the middle of the week, the temperatures are supposed to go up. 0° degrees is supposed to be the limit again beyond the 2,000 m mark? I can't wait to see what the WeatherBlog writes.

Overall impression

I was only out on the slopes today. Despite the short runs, it was fun. There's a good base in the middle to high altitudes for mid-November.
