Snow report Central Switzerland, 02/13/2016

Snow condition

We are slowly approaching a normal state. We've been adding a portion every day or every night for the last few days. On most routes, you no longer have to step on the brakes out of respect for stone contact. Only on the south-facing slopes do stones still peek out of the snow.

Snow quality

The snow fell in fluffy flakes. It was a pity that it lost some of its quality due to the strong to gale-force winds, as a cover formed on the top five to ten centimetres. But with rocker skis and enough speed, the fun wasn't spoiled too much. And in this difficult season, you accept this without complaining.

SLF reports warning level 2. Apart from where blasting took place, no snow slabs were observed in the terrain. However, the strong wind has transported some snow. In less frequented terrain, a conservative choice of route is still recommended.

Overall impression

I look back on some good and relaxed days in Hasliberg. For someone who is usually out and about on the Titlis, it's unusual how few people are out and about in the terrain. The stress factor is definitely a lot lower. Even in the afternoon, you can still easily find slopes there to give them a personal touch with first lines. And that's why it gets 4 stars - despite the wind cover.
