Vaud and Fribourg Alps on 20.04.2024 | Potato masher

Snow condition

We didn't go as far as les Diablerets, but some people told us about their tours down there.

Snow quality

Fresh snow that is spring-like, not ultra dusty but good all the way down. Underneath it has the massive snowfall from the middle of the week. So at least 1m base.

In the upper layers on the steep slopes, the snow slides downhill. Some slight tension in the NW near the rocks. Over the course of the day it became clear how it has harmonized.

Overall impression

Mit minimal mehr Sicht wäre es ein fünf Sterne Tag geworden. Top cruiserpow mit ordentlich geladenen pillows im Wald und kaum bzw. nur sehr freundliche Konkurrenz.
