Snow report Montafon, 12/21/2019

Snow condition

Unfortunately, it only snowed about 5 cm overnight. That wasn't enough, we wanted to go into the forest from 1900 and unfortunately had to realize that there was hardly anything possible to ski. In the last few days, pretty much every slope has been steeper than 35 degrees. Above that, the 5cm is fresh and simply everything comes off when you step on it. Below that is a wet meadow which guarantees a nice slide. Above 2000m we had hardly any visibility. But as you could see in the last few days, the wind was working extremely hard.

Snow quality

Like the snow conditions, the snow is extremely variable. Below 1800m it was still quite soggy in the morning and above that it was a mixture of nice, pleasant and quite icy snow. In general, it was no fun today. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to look into the distance or the gullies today.

There is hardly any snow below 2000m. If there is snow in the gully, be careful. The meadow is quite wet and it could go down to the bottom. Apart from that, we could see a lot of places where some snow has already come down in the last few days. You should be careful above because of drift snow ... the wind has been working hard!!!

Overall impression

After 2 runs it was over. No visibility, hardly any snow and extremely poor snow quality ruined it for us
