Vaud and Fribourg Alps on 29.01.2023 | tobi13

Snow condition

Good descent down to 700.

Snow quality

Mostly capped, especially in Expo West. South-facing slopes soft. Shadow slopes still partly with super powder.

Hardly any here at the moment. The snow cover has many frost-like layers, which will certainly become relevant weak layers with the next snowfall. Massive sliding snow avalanches already below.

Overall impression

Great touring day today in Gruyere. There's more snow here than usual. A clear recommendation!
