Variations of snow cover

The first high chain has almost nothing on the steep north sides due to the wind, as well as on south-facing ridges, where there is already a large area of meadow/rock. Often just enough for the ascent. But the gullies are nicely filled. New snow is needed, preferably 50cm+

Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Wet snow
Powder snow

Good in the shade, quite wet in the sun, in the wind-exposed lid. The descents were all in powder. There's no firn yet

Risks

Diurnal warming
South

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

South-facing already a lot below, otherwise safe.

Worse

Scenically beautiful tour, still lots of untracked powder in the gullies after a week of good weather. There are still a few stretches, but they will get much longer over the weekend!

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!
