Stone Contact avoidable

You can just about get down the south-facing Pordoi ridge without unbuckling. But you can't make many turns between all the stars. Things look much better on the north side. below 2000 m, however, the snow becomes scarcer here too. on the south side, it is mostly bare up to almost 3000 m.

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Firn

Miserable snow quality. Broken, wind-pressed or no snow at all. Ridge blown away up to 3000m. Very hard snow surface. only a chance of firn in the next few days

Risks

Crevasse or fall danger
North-Eas

Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)

Be aware of the risk of falling in steep firn flanks and gullies. There is little snow, so stones come up through the snow here and there. The avalanche danger seemed very relaxed, but we weren't at the main danger spots either

Worse

das könnte die Saison hier gewesen sein. stellenweise liegt am Passrand noch viel Schnee, aber eine richtig tolle Basis gibt es nirgends. einige Skipisten der Sella gehen nur noch durch grüne Landschaften. da die nächsten Tage sehr sonnig und mit wenig Niederschlag angekündigt sind wird sich daran so schnell nichts ändern. trotzdem. Das Ambiente ist trotz Bescheidener Möglichkeit immer wieder beeindruckend. Ein paar Nordseitige Eisfälle stehen auch noch ganz gut falls man eine Sonnenpause braucht.
