Snow condition

The foehn has blown away the few centimetres of fresh snow quite well. Basically, the snow conditions at altitude are still quite good, but there are already a few sharks hiding under the surface in blown-off areas.

Snow quality

Snow quality varies greatly depending on the wind. In the areas less affected by the wind, however, the conditions were mostly powdery on a good surface. We therefore tended to play in the hollows.

The small amount of fresh snow was heavily blown over and in. However, the amount was too little to create dangerous boards.

Overall impression

Another day on the right side of the Föhnwand. This time we tried out the conditions in the northern sector.
