Snow report Sölden, Ötztal, 01/31/2017
Endlich Neuschnee im Ötztal
Sölden, Ötztal
Snow condition

Overall impression
Snow condition
It has done about 30 cm from 2500m downwards, a little less. There is virtually no base at all. The glacier is fine, but it's pretty sharky. Steeper descents are still out of the question. Otherwise, the fresh snow lies directly on the meadow or on rocks. 1-2 stars.
Snow quality
Most of the snow was really powdery and easy to ski on. Sometimes it had a very light crust, but that didn't bother us. Without a base, however, you had to ski very carefully. With difficulty 3 stars
Risks
Drift snow on the shady alpine slopes certainly poses a considerable danger. Further down, the snow is wet from the rain. There were no descents to be observed.
Overall impression
Nice to have some snow on my face again. However, only on flat terrain and to be enjoyed with caution, as contact with the ground is to be expected. Below about 2200m the snow was a bit wet but still good to ride. A beautiful day that would have been even better if the sun had come out.
