Sun and fresh snow in Ischgl
Paznaun Valley
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Still rather poor. Some areas were probably bare before the snowfall, and in some places there is also some base. Off-piste skiing is carefully possible above the tree line, ridges and crests are treacherous and only covered with a few cm of snow, nothing works in the forest. Nevertheless, most variants (above the tree line) can now be skied.
Snow quality
Top 20-30cm of cold powder. Around noon a little wind came up, which often blew the light snow away, so you could probably give it 4 stars.
Risks
We were quite defensive on the way and saw a few smaller loose snow avalanches. There were also a few snow slabs, but only about 2 cm thick. There wasn't much in the way of blasting either...
Overall impression
Nice, relaxed day with little activity. Unfortunately still too little snow to be able to step on the gas.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
