The fifth northern storm in a row and the ZAMG is talking about 30 to 100-year events in the east without this alarm. And once again, huge amounts will arrive by Tuesday. But thanks to Ullr, this time the core is further west.

"There ain't no party like a Nordstau party because a Nordstau party don't stop!" Unfortunately, the party part is long gone in the east and people are more likely to be hungover about the recent large amounts of fresh snow. Only in Switzerland can you still look forward to it, although there too the danger of avalanches will cloud the fun from Wednesday.

Ullr means well with us. Unfortunately too well. As with all triologies, the grand finale comes at the end: the return of King Ullr. But he wants to make the Eastern Alps look more like the second Star Wars and turns everything into the ice planet Hoth.

Number 5 is alive! As promised, it's still going strong: it's snowing and it's getting cold. The oracle has already had a really nice day and is now writing live from the north parking lot. Even areas where there has been no snow in the valley for a long time will soon be worth it, because this alarm goes all the way down.

The last alert was too warm and too windy, but Ullr now promises to do better, at least in terms of temperatures. For a long time, it wasn't clear whether this dump would miss the Alps and end up too far east in no man's land. It was only in the last 24 hours that Ullr had an understanding and steered the flow further west so that at least the eastern Alps would be fully hit.

We're not dealing with the Grinch at the moment, who is making life difficult for our freeriders with his nasty behavior, but with warmth and rain up to 2400m. The weather is generally not very wintry at the moment. But Ullr is approaching to save the birth of another god and to give the red-clad guy from the Coca Cola ad a proper appearance with a sledge, at least in the Alps. How noble our favorite god is.

Just like in Terminator 2, Ullr is not letting his hair down and is finally spreading powder with a coarse trowel in the Northern Alps. As in the movie, the number of explosions is likely to be quite high in this alert due to the avalanche blasts: the SLF expects "very large avalanches", which should of course keep the fun to a minimum for a few days. More on this in the alert.

First of all, to answer the question of those who keep a watchful eye on the weather: Why the alarm now? The south has snow and a base and you could already drive here and there!

The new TGR film attracted a lot of criticism and jokes in the run-up, as they had ventured quite far out (ha!) with the trailer to present us with the great unknown on film. For all those who feared that it would be the next celluloid joke a lá Onekotan, rest assured, it's a normal ski movie.

It's finally snowing in the south and then perhaps in the north again. Ullr gives its all again in the final retreat battles against spring and gives us an exciting Easter 2018.

Ullr wants to say goodbye to the Freeride World Tour with top conditions and is sending snow to the north and west of the Alps. It has been snowing from time to time recently - now we're finally getting alarming amounts again!

After minor snowfalls here and there, Ullr is now bringing alarm-worthy amounts to the south again. It has already started to snow and there will be a lot by Monday. The problem with southern alerts in spring is of course the high snow line in the south, in addition to the foehn in the north.
