Powder ski tour in the winter wonderland | Sumedum

Snow condition

On the north-facing route, starting at 1300 meters, absolutely no problems. The south-facing route was also used here, and is currently also easily sufficient there.

Snow quality

North side permanently at least knee-deep. Fluffy, fast - perfect :-) On the west side it's a bit harder at the bottom, with about 20cm of fresh snow of the perfect quality just described. Below 1500 meters it gets a bit wetter, snow sticks to the ski boots but is still great to ski.

We skipped the summit slope with over 35 degrees due to whiteout. However, the snow cover actually felt quite stable, even on small, steep slopes etc. nothing came off. However, things can look different close to the ridge.

Overall impression

Same again tomorrow, as soon as the sun comes out on Tuesday it will only be good on the northern slopes. Today unfortunately whiteout from 1900 meters, apart from that pretty perfect :-)
