decent powder day in Kappl, even with a few rays of sunshine
Paznaun Valley
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
In the last 24 hours 15 cm of fresh snow, due to the drifts the base can only be roughly estimated at 50 cm and there was stone contact and also larger drift snow fields, some of which were skied on. Sufficient snow conditions also in the forest aisles up to 1600m.
Snow quality
Unfortunately, the powder was no longer as fluffy,
Risks
Quite treacherous. 4 was issued from 2000m. As Kappl only has southern exposures, I didn't notice the old snow problem. We only skied SW-SE exposures, mainly ski routes and slopes below 35 degrees. Spontaneous releases on the Quellspitzhang and two drift snow avalanches triggered by winter sports enthusiasts were observed (without burials).
Overall impression
Nice day in the area, but you still need patience to ride variants. However, the situation will probably ease up again by the FWQ.
