Worse

I can't really do much more than ride the slopes with a few detours at the moment. Yesterday it was still very hard and therefore hardly enjoyable to ride off-piste. Today it's been snowing heavily since early morning with temperatures around zero. During the day, the snowfall limit fluctuated around 1000m, towards the afternoon it was already rising slightly and the snowfall felt increasingly "wetter". Untracked on a load-bearing crust, the fresh snow was still quite easy to ski. However, it then became permanently too wet and the soaking affected not only the snow cover but also the people on it. We can expect rain up to the summits (or possibly even higher) from tomorrow at the latest. Then it will finally be time to take a break and wait for the next "real" (dry) snowfall.

Note on Conditions Reports

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.

Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
