Thin, but sufficient. On the ascent, we "found" large stones a few centimetres deep a few times with our poles. On the descent, stones were blown free in a shallow traverse. Otherwise we were able to ski down without any contact with the enemy.

Snow quality

10-15 cm of fluffy fresh snow without the influence of wind :-) The layer underneath was not always completely homogeneous, but all in all it was great fun.

Risks

In the hilly terrain, I triggered the loose fresh snow on a mini slope that was a good 40 degrees steep. Otherwise, we were in terrain with temperatures of around 30 degrees, which was absolutely problem-free. I would expect drift snow in exposed areas.

Overall impression

It was originally intended as exercise therapy...sufficient visibility and a good descent were even better :-)

Note on Conditions Reports

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!
