Exposition
Snow condition
At the start about 10-15 cm of fresh snow and with increasing altitude it quickly became more. From 2000 m up to 30 cm. West sides are pretty blown out. In general, the snow cover is quite inhomogeneous.
Snow quality
Unfortunately, the wind became active and more dominant as the morning progressed. I think we found a good line where the wind influence was manageable. The fresh snow has already settled well today.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Would take a more critical view of the situation than in today's avalanche report. The amounts of fresh snow are greater than in the forecast and where the wind came to work, you could hear settlement impulses, especially at transitions from more to less snow and vice versa. As a result, we adjusted the tour and were out and about on flatter terrain. Where there was hardly any wind, the connection to the old snow was very good. In the early morning you could see loose snow slides from steep terrain.
Overall impression
Top start to the new year, it can go on like this!

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!
