Overall impression
Snow condition
There is now a good foundation. However, contact with the ground is still often unavoidable. Due to the fresh snow of the last few days, there is about 60 cm of snow in the forest. There is hardly any snow above the tree line, as the wind has been quite industrious over the last few days. Where there is snow above the tree line, it is mostly drift snow.
Snow quality
Very powdery snow due to the cold temperatures. Especially in areas that were affected by the wind, you can usually find ice or hard drift snow.
Risks
Quite tricky. We were able to see a number of slopes today, some blasted and some triggered by skiers. Even in less steep terrain, we could see a preplanting of avalanches. Around midday, an avalanche was triggered at the connecting lift (Kaltenbach - Hochfügen). Alpine police, emergency doctor and avalanche dog team were on site. The LLB issued warning level 3 for the region today. You should be very defensive at the moment.
Overall impression
Compared to yesterday, most of it was already lost, but there was still one or two runs to be seen.
