Snow report South-north routes, 04/21/2017
Storebortskarvet und 1609 im Mørkedalen hinter Hemsedal.Starker Wind, mässiger Schnee aber trotzdem schöne Tour - aber unendlich weit entfernt von dem, was hier aktuell von daheim zu sehen ist Tour war Nord- und und teilweise ostseitig.
South-north routes
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
10-15 minutes carrying to the snow. Many tours in the region are no longer possible. With a high parking lot (~1000m) something is still possible on the north and east sides. Overall, extremely below average.
Snow quality
Very variable, rarely good. There was a lot of wind here last week. There were a few turns in powder, but otherwise it was hard snow (mostly carrying) and ice slabs. Probably good firn on the south side, but you have to get to the snow there first.
Risks
There is drift snow locally, but it is easy to recognize. Extremely strong wind influence, but it was stable in the terrain around 30 degrees today. A few really big packs can be seen in steeper terrain.
Overall impression
At home, I would have been semi-satisfied with the conditions. With the unfamiliar landscape etc. it was a successful tour
