Off-piste skiing with a good base in Kappl
Paznaun Valley

Overall impression
Snow condition
I would actually like to give it 4 stars because there is a solid base of 1.5m above 2000m. However, it has rained up to 1700m, which means that even the valley descent is completely snowed out.
Snow quality
Wet snow up to approx. 2000m, above that partly wind-pressed snow. But you could still ski it well with the right skis.
Risks
In the area itself, I could see many small snow slabs that had been triggered by skiers. But they were never dangerously large. Avalanches have occurred on pretty much every very steep slope close to the ridge, some of which have extended over 500m in length and width. The wind flags are evidence of further snow drifts and the trend is likely to remain the same in the coming days.
Overall impression
As almost all the variants in the open ski area are flat, it was possible to ski well with the handbrake half-applied for the tense avalanche situation and for once you didn't take any stones home with you in your skis.
