Königsspitze the 2nd

Overall impression
Snow condition
Despite nominally little snowfall last week, a lot has happened on the Königspitze. Instead of simply walking along, we had to track in knee-deep pressed powder.
Snow quality
More snow, more wind - quite challenging to ski as hard tops were quickly followed by soft sections (in the upper part from 3200 m to 3800 m). The eastern gully was relatively hard, but it was possible to ski down the short narrow section this week.
Risks
Despite the fresh snow, wind and weather, the upper steep slope made a very stable impression. Due to the morning fog and the now rather poor snow conditions in the lower areas, everything was fine.
Overall impression
Despite the 2nd ascent in 8 days - always beautiful. With the right level-less company, the ascent virtually flies by and the descent is simply mega.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
