Snow report Paznaun Valley, 02/14/2020

Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
30cm of fresh snow, so that the old tracks were almost imperceptible. It had rained in the valley in the evening and snowed about 10cm during the night. Below approx. 1500m there is too little base, above that it's ok.
Snow quality
The fresh snow was loose and barely packed. Around noon it got warm and then heavy below about 1500 m, wet in the valley.
Risks
In the areas where we were today, the snow was not affected by much wind (below 2500m). The old snow seemed well connected to the new snow and we did not observe any avalanche activity. However, the increasing temperature rise will play a role over the next few days.
Overall impression
A really good day. It was still snowing until midday and then it started to clear up. The fresh snow was enough that you hardly had any contact with the hard old snow. Only very rarely in the forest, when it was steeper, did you get through to the hard crust. It's a shame that it's getting warm again now.
