Snow report Zillertal, 01/16/2023

Snow condition

Unfortunately, the 10 cm of fresh snow that has fallen only slightly improves the snow conditions. You still need to watch out for contact with stones, mountain pines and bushes are also not yet sufficiently snow-covered. The best places to get down at the moment are gullies and hollows with ground that is not too stony.

Snow quality

The fresh snow is of very good quality, but unfortunately a little light. In gullies and hollows and generally where it wasn't completely chopped up before, it was still very nice to ski. There were a few face shots and the steeper terrain was also really bluffy.

The wind, which was strong in places, transported the fresh snow. As the amount of fresh snow was limited and the terrain had already been well tracked beforehand, the snow cover made a stable impression. No avalanche activity to be seen anywhere in the area. In less frequented terrain, a more defensive choice of route is probably advisable.

Overall impression

The finest powder snow and sunshine, a dream day! In places the old tracks spoiled the fun a bit, but there were also plenty of gullies and fields with surprisingly good depth. Once again a very relaxed day of freeriding without having to stress about the first line.
