Andermatt / Gotthard on 24.02.2024 | muruaneq

Snow condition

Rocky valley out to the trunk is just about 2cm of carpet, which should be gone tomorrow. Very little to nothing in the valley at 1500m. From 2000m solid, if not outstanding.

Snow quality

Deduction for the last 300m into the valley. Very fine at the top, a bit windy in places, but good throughout.

When the wind picked up, there was a superficial crack on one edge. Next to old avalanche cones, no observations.

Overall impression

Beautiful morning in Andermatt. Long time no see. Mix of sun and clouds, sometimes blind, sometimes good visibility. There should be another load in the valley, otherwise it'll be over quickly in the lower areas.
