Snow report Salzburger Land North, 01/03/2019

Snow condition

Different: Despite the heavy snowfall of the last few days, the lower altitudes are still not good. You can start from the valley on suitable, open ground, but in the forest it only becomes skiable from 1200-1300m. Above that, however, it is now really good, especially in high, sparse larch forests.

Snow quality

From about 1400m upwards it gets really bombastic: cold, light blowerpow. Some of it is already heavily tracked, we were still able to find a nice virgin line at the top, below which the crusty layer of old snow comes through more and more as the altitude drops.

The situation report speaks for itself. Personally, I wouldn't have seen a triple on our more or less dense forest tour. Absolutely untracked, cold powder, which in our area was apparently also not very transported, hardly any signs of wind. In the lower areas, it was a mixture of fresh snow, chopped up snow and old snow crust, but it's better to be relatively defensive overall.

Overall impression

Really fine due to the upper larch forest.
You can finally step on the gas without having to worry too much about unpleasant encounters.
Unfortunately, the few things you can do in a reasonably relaxed manner are heavily tracked. Of course, this also applies to one of the Berchtesgaden classic tours, which was extremely busy today.
