Snow report Central Switzerland, 12/02/2017

Snow condition

Off we go, handbrake off. Almost all the sharks in the open terrain are gone. Descent on a hand-width-thick layer of snow on the meadow to the parking lot. However, the passage still leaves some brown traces and some mountain pines are not yet in hibernation. The narrower forest is not yet passable without the risk of wood and stone contact.

Snow quality

It doesn't get much better than this, only everything that has been in the fog for at least half a day gets a mini crust when the conditions are clear. Otherwise fine, perfect, ice-cold powder

There are slight tensions in the areas where it is pressed by the wind and shows cracks in convex to concave transitions of the sun slopes. Further down on the meadow, these cracks appear as fish mouths on the meadow. However, these fish mouths or plates did not appear to be dissolvable. Generally very stable conditions due to the even build-up of snow cover since the beginning of the week before last.

Overall impression

Full throttle until you can't go any further. At 3 p.m., a self-protection tap due to somewhat limited maneuvers in the choppy terrain. So continue to gather energy to set every turn in a deliberate and controlled manner.
