Snow condition

2 von 5 Sterne

The snow conditions are very varied! Many slopes in the Verbier sector need the predicted amount of fresh snow of tomorrow, as in many places on the windward side and at terrain transitions, stones are putting a strain on the surface, whereas in the Vallon d'Arbi there is already enough snow. However, caution is required here, especially downwind (see photo).

Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne

Top fresh snow, which became a little heavier below about 1800m.

Risks

Warning level 3: In my opinion, the avalanche danger is delicate and should not be underestimated. Some larger avalanches were clearly visible. One person was caught in an avalanche in Nendaz on Tuesday.

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne

The descents through the Vallon d'Arbi are some of the best I've done in recent years. The risk of riding there was rewarded.

Note on Conditions Reports

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!
