Snow report St. Moritz / Engadine, 05/24/2014

Overall impression
Snow condition
There is still snow, but surprisingly little. Outside the glaciers, it quickly becomes scarce; on the Diavolezza, you can just about make it down to the valley on the pistes. The glaciers are also rather poorly snow-covered, with crevasses everywhere. In South Tyrol, for example, there is about three times as much snow on the glaciers... Ski tours are no longer worthwhile for long, as the glaciers are too crevassed and the terrain next to them is too snow-free.
Snow quality
Quite hard or firn, but often uneven snow surface due to the strong wind. OK, but could be better.
Risks
Spring conditions, pay attention to daytime warming.
Overall impression
Great weather and it's not every day that you get to the highest peak in the Eastern Alps...

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
