80 cm fresh snow

In the uppermost Upper Engadine, about 80 cm of fresh snow on Saturday morning, then another 30 cm by Sunday morning. The further down the Inn, the less fresh snow. There was also enough base, so that you can ski in the forest and elsewhere below 2,500 m without hesitation. Only wind-exposed ridges and crests at high altitudes are sometimes only slightly covered in snow and it can happen that you uncover a stone.

Powder snow

Yesterday in the forest we had to stop every few turns during the first run to catch our breath. Then it settled a bit but we still skied the full 80 cm of fresh snow, it was really sensational. Today we ventured a little higher, it wasn't so extremely deep, but it was wonderful cold powder.

Risks

Much fresh snow
South-West

Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)

SLF had issued a 3+. Where we were out and about, we assessed the situation rather more favorably. No spontaneous or triggered boards observed (not even today with better visibility) and no cracks or booming noises (before those in the Bullettin). All the fresh snow fell with little or no wind. However, the south-westerly wind has picked up significantly since midday today and has also already transported snow, which will certainly be relevant tomorrow.

Engadin-Madness, gestern ein Alltime-Waldtag, heute haben wir gegambelt und sind, zumindest teilweise, mit super Lines im alpineren Gelände belohnt worden. Habe bisher noch nie 5 Sterne gegeben aber jetzt komm ich nicht drum herum. Da der nächste Südstau-Alarm schon in den Startlöchern sollte es hier super weiter gehen.
