Snow condition

4 von 5 Sterne

Thick layer of snow in all expos down to 1400m. No ground contact possible. Only the back and ridges are blown off.

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne

Had hoped for a blow-in in the north / east. Unfortunately, the wind has compressed everything there too. Slab powder on top, melting harsh under 2000 and the influence of rain. Depending on the expo, it became soft in the sun.

Risks

Only old snowboards seen in various expos. Mighty cornices hanging over north/east. Beware of pressed packs on steep north/east facing slopes.

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne

Unfortunately, the snow was much worse and more compacted than expected, but still skiable. Thanks to the snow conditions and amazing views, it was still a great day.

PS: spot the poser-Gams!

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!
