Snow condition
Still far too little, thanks to paths you can get down quite well, in the terrain below 1500m it's only possible on the north side and on the flat to some extent.

Snow quality
Mostly settled powder, nice to ski, even if not quite regular. Where there was sun, the top was light and hard below 1300m.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: low
Altitude: 1800 m – 2100 m
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Drift snow-2s, quite stable at our altitude. In the "real" steep terrain you could see a few old cracks and spurs, probably from directly after the snowfall.
Overall impression
Nice tour in good downhill terrain with still good snow and great weather. The sinking depth was not great, but still nice to ski. It's almost 4*, especially between 2100m and 1600m. Where there's no sun, the snow will last a while, but unfortunately there's no fresh snow in sight at the moment.

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.
Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
