Snow report Jungfrau Region, 01/06/2018

Snow condition

There are a few centimeters of snow down to the valley. Downhill runs are possible. There is increasing snow at the top. At over 2000m the snow cover is ok. (approx. 50cm)

Snow quality

bad quarry resin from this night. There was no snow in the area. Instead, there was a real ice crust, probably due to the moisture of the fog. everywhere above 1800m. The freeride area is lost. There is very little snow below 1800m. It's no fun like this.

The bulletin was set to Considerable for all exp. above 1800m. But from my point of view, this is a totally exaggerated assessment. There has been no snow in the last 24 hours and only a few centimetres in the last few days. I also didn't notice any accumulations of drift snow and certainly not below 2200m. There was also no wind at all this morning. They probably expected more fresh snow in the area and didn't correct the bulletin afterwards. It's hard to believe that just a little further east (Engelberg) there is already a high avalanche risk.

Overall impression

Hope for better days. There should also be fresh snow in the Jungfrau Region on Tuesday / Wednesday.
