Snow report Pitztal, 04/21/2019

Snow condition

The snow conditions are good right down to the valley. The higher rocky terrain is more problematic. There are areas that had no snow before the last snowfall and in the meantime the fresh snow from last weekend has slipped away or simply thawed.

Snow quality

you can still find powder on shady north faces protected from the sun. With a good choice of line, powder turns directly into firn.

The night-time temperatures and the steeling are sufficient for a stable cover. However, on east-facing slopes this softens during the morning and the snow underneath is often already wet. You definitely have to be early on the east side, especially if you are carrying your skis on your back, because you will break through more quickly.

Overall impression

Two great days in the Pitztal. You can still find powder on the north side via short access routes from the lifts, otherwise firn, hardly any broken snow.
More west/northwest-facing gullies, on the other hand, are a bit more challenging. But even here you can still find powder in places. Where the sun comes in, it's sometimes hard, at 45° and more, it's exhausting, sometimes unrideable (think carefully about how steep you still want to/can ride in hard conditions), but still two brilliant days.
