VERIFIED REPORT
Official mountain status checked 17 August 2026. This is an editorial Powder Window assessment, not a live safety bulletin.
NOT YET.
Hintertux is a remarkable high-alpine glacier, but the official report lists the ski area as closed, with only 3 of 20 glacier lifts operating. No current snow-depth or snow-quality figure is published. At the time of the report, the resort showed 1.4°C at 3,250m and 5.3°C at 2,660m. That is summer glacier access—not a Powder Window.
Snow comes first. Everything else decides whether it's worth chasing.
SNOW SCORE · 7/50WHY THE SNOW
WHY THE SNOW
DOESN'T SCORE.
The Snow Score stays visible because an overall number should never disguise weak conditions.
Snow Quality1/12
Above-freezing temperatures and summer glacier conditions rule out winter-quality powder.
Base & Coverage2/8
Glacier snow remains, but the official report gives no current depth and lists the ski area closed.
Wind Impact4/6
Wind is not the main problem. Warmth, coverage and access are the decisive limits.
Powder Timing0/6
There is no short-lived powder window to reach before conditions change.
