Monte Rosa / Zermatt

Overall impression
Snow condition
Still good for the time of year. On the south side you can still reach the tree line, but this will change quickly with the temperatures. From Friday to Saturday, a good 40cm of new snow above 2200m, but this has already been washed away again today.
Snow quality
Wet snow up to about 2600m, then it got powdery on Saturday. But as we were only on the south side, it was gone after an hour of sunshine. On the north side it would certainly have been dusty at times. The downhill fun was limited...
Risks
We set off on Saturday in the fog, after an hour the sun came out and all around us were numerous loose snow avalanches in extremely steep terrain, some of which were quite large. In the less steep terrain, the whole thing seemed quite compact.
Overall impression
Beautiful 1st of May weekend with a fun group, lots (but still too little) beer, 40cm of fresh snow, sun, 40 mm of rain, delicious food...

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!
