Engelberg - Central Switzerland on 08.01.2022 | Muruaneq

Snow condition

The storm has swept away all the ridges and crests. The choice of line is practically predetermined by gullies and hollows. The handbrake can't really be opened anywhere. Brunni also looks bare and needs replenishment.

Snow quality

Dust on Crust. Every turn was a surprise - sometimes the finest blower, then you hit some avalanche cones again. With better visibility and line choice, however, it was quite possible and surprisingly good

Massive drift snow packs have formed there and the current snowfall is making it even worse. It was easy to disturb the whole thing with small rollers. Relatively easy to assess due to the small amount of fresh snow.

Overall impression

Good day with little activity in the terrain. From toe deep to hip deep, everything was there. Hopefully Ullr will now bring the necessary supplies.
