Avalanche warning level
considerable (3)
Exposition
Snow condition
There's now a lot of snow at the top, so you can let it go. At the bottom, you're practically riding on grass again. Once it warms up, the layer should disappear very quickly.
Snow quality
Great powder at the top, about 20 cm. However, you can tell that it was a bit warm, so the snow is not quite fluffy. The further down you get, the heavier the snow becomes. Further down (below 1200m) it unfortunately rained or was too wet, so everything was already frozen.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
The avalanche situation is still critical, as it has been windy for the last few days. From a distance, I could see an avalanche edge on a very steep eastern slope.
Overall impression
If it stays nice and cold now, there should be some nice slopes further up over the next few days.

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!
