Firn
Powder snow

On the north side finest set powder. Speed firn on the south side.

Risks

Old snow problem

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Still a 2+ due to the old snow problem. Standard tours are all completed. No fresh releases were observed. But before the snowfall last Friday, there were quite a few cracks that could still be seen.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Equal

Leisurely rehab ski tours in the Lower Valais. With a bit of timing, you could have perfect firn and powder in one tour.

Note on Conditions Reports

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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
