Snow condition

3 von 5 Sterne
25 cm fresh snow
Descent to valley (to 1000 m)
Descent through forest
Covered shoes

Just under 50 m of skis shouldered, from 900 m just high enough for a mouse, then quickly ascending on approx. 25 cm of fresh snow. Most - but not all - stones covered in snow.

Snow quality

4 von 5 Sterne
Powder snow

Today still good pow from 1,600m, slightly dusty. Quality quickly improving in the sun and close to the valley, but fine early and above the tree line today.

Risks

Much fresh snow
West North-West

Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)

Massive wind influence, we were only upwind. Fresh snow slide from yesterday on north-facing slope with approx. 40 degrees. On the ascent before the ridge, a tricky transition from far too little snow with a wedge of snow breaking off the hairpin bends.

Overall impression

Worse

Nochmal Pow, der Tag Urlaub war gut eingesetzt. Nur zwei Kollegen vor uns und ausreichend Sicht. Vertretbarer Aufstieg und gute Abfahrt, im oberen Steilgelände etwas Eisbollen beim Durchschlagen spürbar. Trotzdem: ein Geschenk im April.
