Snow condition

There is a good base in the Meiental from Färnigen onwards. Slopes are well snowed in. Only streams are still open and serve as traps.

Snow quality

Variable, but sometimes changing very quickly and you can't tell in which expo it has set powder and where the lid is to be found. We found both. But you can recognize it quite well on the surface. In one slope powder without wind, in the other slab powder deluxe.

Basically, the structure looks very solid. You can recognize drift snow packs. Around noon, there are loose snow slides on the south side that add up and interfere with the descent to the car. Surface frost at the tree line is crunching and will be exciting for the next snowfall.

Overall impression

Beautiful morning with nice couli. This one was a bit blown out, but the snow below was very good to ski. A bit of a lottery at the moment in central Switzerland, where it's good and where it's not. But conditions are generally very good - keep your eyes open and choose the good snow and not the summit.
