Snow condition

Descent to valley (to 1600 m)
Descent through forest
Blown backs
Variations of snow cover

Even though it is getting considerably less on the south side, the snow conditions are excellent for the time of year. 1-1.5 m at 2000 m. Downhill skiing up to caa 1500 m possible.

Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Wet snow

Classic spring conditions: softened very early on the south side, frozen as hard as a rock on the north side (which does not change because the sun is still low)

Risks

Diurnal warming
Much water in the snow cover
North-West

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

Due to the rain and the high temperatures we saw a few ground avalanches today -> all south and east facing

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne
Equal

Just under 3 stars: everything is doable, but the fun factor is limited due to the quality of the snow. Nice little tour near Formigueres to the Serre de Maury. It stays warm for 2 more days, then supplies arrive.

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!
