Snow report Zillertal, 02/13/2019

Snow condition

Everything is covered in thick snow, even some large rocks are completely gone. Apart from the blown-off ridges, hardly any contact with the enemy is possible.

Snow quality

The 30 cm of fresh snow, sometimes as much as 40 cm, was usually pretty fluffy, sometimes a bit settled in the worst cases. In any case, full-throttle quality. As chevchelios has already written, the sun came a little later and with breaks. So even the south-eastern slopes on the small Gilfert were without any noticeable sunshine until 13:00. After that we were only on the north side (there was a lot of dust until the end anyway), but it remained cold. So it should be usable again tomorrow. The 5th is only not available because of the limited number of faceshots (what a winter :)).

We went to all expos except south-northwest - and only that looked less nice. Everything else felt really uncritical for us locally. Hardly any bindings even in the afternoon, not even the sun could change much today. As a result, people quickly became braver and metzen and co. were well prepared. Watch out for sliding snow mouths. On the sunny side, some of them were covered in snow.

Overall impression

One of the very good days. With a few hours of sunshine, many a new line for us and dusty full-throttle snow right up to the end, there's really very little to complain about today - although there was a lot going on.
