Snow report Pitztal, 05/08/2016

Snow condition

You can ski to the parking lot at 1740m with about 3-4 20-50m off-piste sections. Glacier apparently still quite well snowed in. I'm hardly ever in the area, I don't know what it looks like in other years at the beginning of May.

Snow quality

I was satisfied, although the first few hundred meters below the Wildspitze were the worst. From Mittelbergjoch onwards it was beautiful firn and sulz respectively.

No observations made. Safe on "my" route - no north-facing slopes, everything is well run in.

Overall impression

Great weather, a short detour to the Top of Tirol, down to the car in a magnificent setting and then back up to the piste cruising - very nice. The whole thing with zero waiting time, even on the Wildspitze there were only about 30 people today - you have a good view of the whole thing when you're up there with the first ones and can see what and who else is coming. After changing skis, we skied down the empty, wonderfully soft, wide piste highways towards the end of the piste season. Conclusion: I would definitely recommend doing it again next year, but 4 days would be better than one...even if I have to miss out on the slopes...
