Nice freeride morning :-) | Sumedum

Snow condition

Very isolated, only sugared-over stones, otherwise very safe. Even on south-facing ski tours that have been snow-free for weeks, there are tracks again.

Snow quality

Another 20 cm of the finest fresh snow overnight - enough on many slopes to cover the old tracks to such an extent that it was super easy to ski. Mostly snow up to the knee on the descent. Very fluffy & fast :-)

In a short, light section of forest at 35-40 degrees, the snowpack was already breaking up on a very small scale. In a north-facing gully, we could see that another freerider had released a board. Drift snow definitely plays a role here, depending on the slope and sometimes also on a small scale, the sinking depth was different.

Overall impression

Should stay that way for now. But from tomorrow it's back to Earn your Turn. I'm not really a big freeride fan, but even I found it very rewarding today :-)
