Snow report Montafon, 12/30/2019

Snow condition

Yes, you can reach the valley via the piste ... but I would advise against off-piste skiing below 1600m. Because there is simply not enough snow. Otherwise, beyond 2000m you can find some good snow in gullies and generally on north-facing slopes. On the south side, you can already see grass and stones coming through even at 2000m. The sun has already had a big influence there. Even in all exposures, you should still be careful on ridges and wind-protected areas. There you will find a lot of stones with a mini snow crust.

Snow quality

Today we were able to make out a lot of settled pow on the north to northwest slopes. Only on ridges was there a bit of hard snow. Even on the south-facing slopes we could still see some people having a lot of fun at around 2pm. It actually still looked like powder from a distance .... despite the sunlight.

Today it was a 2 everywhere in the Montafon and the conditions allowed for some brilliant lines (around 35 degrees). Nothing went down in the north or northwest. We only saw a few small chutes on the south-facing slopes around midday. Otherwise, I would have personally called it a stable 2 on the north side. On the south side, you should go early.

Overall impression

Absolutely awesome tour today on the St. Antönier Jöchl. We went up twice and were able to ski some lines that don't always work. The sun was smiling the whole day... just like us ;). There's just not enough snow for 4 stars to be able to try some jumps again.
