Snow report Stubai Valley, 02/21/2015

Snow condition

You can get down most of the standard variants on the north side without coming into contact with rocks, but there is not much snow anywhere. There is hardly any snow on the south side, and here the standard variants are only partially skiable. However, you can often see stones sticking out of the base. The warm days of the last week have taken their toll on the overall snow depth. There used to be more snow...

Snow quality

The rootstock is now good. Compact and hard due to the sun and warmth. The approx. 5 cm of fresh snow has unfortunately been mostly blown away by the Föhn storm. You'll only find a little fresh snow in some gullies or sheltered basins, but it's quite nice to ski.

According to the LLB in this region (from 2000m) warning level 3 due to fresh drift snow. This can be understood by means of wind signs. But we didn't see any slides or similar. Perhaps not so critical here because less snow has fallen than on the main Alpine ridge, for example. However, due to the visibility, tours

Overall impression

You're a long way from a powder day here. However, a few north-facing gullies saved the day. These were nice to ski, as the little fresh snow on the hard base brought an improvement, but there wasn't so much that it could have been dangerous in these gullies.
