Exposition
Snow condition
Ski tours possible from the Walchen camp and down to the valley. Snow depth increases with altitude: starting point about 10 cm of fresh snow above 2000 m, a good 30-40 cm. up to approx. 1800 m but without any significant base. Cautious descent possible below the tree line due to fresh snow. Above the tree line there is a reasonable base and amount of snow, but there is still a lack of snow. Stone contact hardly avoidable on ridges and terrain transitions.
Snow quality
Finest cold powder, apart from areas close to the ridge wind chimes fell
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
Above approx. 2,200 m, a lot of blowing noises, settling of the snowpack and cracks in the snowpack; weak layer and old snow problem as indicated in the LLB; drifting snow in areas close to the crest
Overall impression
Contrary to expectations, a dream day with sunshine and fine powder, most of it completely windblown. Sufficient snow above the tree line, thin below. But it still needs a few more loads.

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!
