Exposition
Snow condition
Fresh snow around 30 cm overnight, in total around 1 meter in the last few days, more in places. The snow line was quite high at the start of the snowfall, so the amount of snow increased with altitude. Ski tours possible from approx. 1,000m, below that damp and little snow. Above approx. 1,200m good snow conditions, downhill skiing in the forest without any problems
Snow quality
Above approx. 2,300m finest powder, below 2,300m already heavily settled due to heat and light melt crust
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: no wind
Altitude: 1900 m – 4800 m
Risks
Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
From the tree line onwards, extensive drifting snow in all exposures, strong to stormy winds
Overall impression
A good 1 meter or more of fresh snow in the last few days, but quite warm, i.e. rain in the valleys and the fresh snow only above approx. 1,300m. Overnight on Saturday 30-40 cm of new snow, perfect conditions in the forest area, above the tree line heavy drifting snow, no more powder. Tricky situation above the tree line.
