Snow report Sölden, Ötztal, 12/03/2015
Autumn skiing feeling on the glacier. Artificial snow-free ski slopes in the winter ski area are also partially open. Off-piste skiing is out of the question, but some people still...
Sölden, Ötztal
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Very, very little. It doesn't really start until 2200 m, but even on the glaciers there is barely 50 cm. Artificial snow bands down to the valley.
Snow quality
Quite good at the top of Tiefenbach and Rettenbach, very icy artificial snow further down without exception.
Risks
There must have been quite a bit of wind here too. However, there is simply not enough snow below the glaciers, while the main danger at the top comes from crevasses and sharks.
Overall impression
Quite nice for piste skiing in the glacier ski area, but further down the whole thing is more like a suicide mission, as 95% of the (mostly Eastern European) skiers seem to have absolutely no control over their skis. Two stars only because of 3 days of continuous sunshine and 10 degrees at 2000 m.
