Snow condition

4 von 5 Sterne
60 cm fresh snow
Descent to valley (to 1400 m)
Descent through forest
Covered shoes

Filled to the brim at altitude. You can get down at the very bottom of the valley, but on a rain crust it's rather poor.

Snow quality

4 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Powder snow
Wind drifted snow

Gone with the wind. 80cm new with a nasty wind cap don't allow any real joy to arise. Getting a little better towards the afternoon with lots of sun.

Risks

Fresh avalanches
Much fresh snow
Much water in the snow cover

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Wow, the master builder wind was at work and the snow seemed to be very trigger-happy on Friday and spread the chunks over the whole ski area. Saturday was much more stable and settled.

Expected powder, got concrete powder. Rarely good, everyone practiced a head, great fun at the unofficial midwinter PowderGuide meeting.
