Snow report Salzburger Land North, 01/23/2020

Snow condition

Well, it's still bad. Even with a high starting point, you can hardly avoid carrying at least for a short time. Above 1400m on the shaded side it's fine. The high altitudes look bad, the south sides too, and the best is the north-facing larch forest between 1400 and 1800m.

Snow quality

Quite good in the shade. The powder has settled a little, which is of course good for the small total amount of snow, and if you can find untracked snow, then it's really fine in places. the higher you get, the warmer and more settled the fresh snow from the weekend becomes. Here, too, the larch forest is the place to be, with dust on crust at the bottom and broken snow as soon as the sun comes out.

The situation report says just outside the high altitudes and that fits well. I couldn't see anything of the possible drifts in the ridge area of the high altitudes, but I was only on the move up to 1800m.

Overall impression

I had a lot of fun in the steep and beautifully structured forest, but you can't really let it rip due to the low total amount of snow.
A few people were out and about, but it was limited. Of the 4.5 variants in the area of the starting point, all but one were skied.
Including the high areas, but it looked really bad there.
Great views!
