Exposition
Snow condition
On Saturday and Sunday, it was really snowing, about 30cm of fresh snow. Overall, I can't compare the snow conditions very well as I've never been to the area. Some of the open stones were slightly snowed in due to the snow, and I was smashed 3 times by stone contact. You really have to be careful, even if the Pow is very tempting.
Snow quality
Yesterday, fantastic pow that was really good to ride. Today it's a bit more settled and not quite as fluffy. At the bottom, you quickly come back to the old hard-frozen snow in exposed places.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: strong
Above: 2300 m
Risks
Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
It was super windy, especially on Saturday/Sunday. There was a lot of snow. We also observed a few fresh avalanches. Overall, consideration is definitely advisable.
Overall impression
We spent a total of 4 days at the Langtalereck hut. Saturday/Sunday only limited summits possible due to the weather conditions, but the area offers enough slopes for nice turns. Today was a dream day with lots of sunshine. With good weather towards the middle of the week, there will certainly be some nice tours.
