Brisen Classic // Central Switzerland on 19.12.2021 | muruaneq

Snow condition

Actually quite solid. It is certainly worth emphasizing that it has a base right down to the bottom, but this is in urgent need of replenishment. Further up, hollows and streams are not yet full, so that the brake lever cannot yet be fully released.

Snow quality

The wind and the warm temperatures turned the whole thing into a fine, nasty slush party. Cheers arose in the powder pockets. The further down and more protected, the better it got.

SLF warns of transitions from little to much snow. No cracks observed. Some sliding snow cracks/avalanches on the south side

Overall impression

First tour of the season. Legs like pudding on the ascent and descent. Whether it was the booster or the snow - and broken snow is still not my favorite discipline. But it was nice and the beer in the sun well deserved.
