Overall impression
Snow condition
Still not really good here either. Somewhere between two and three stars. Everything that was once exposed to the wind is now covered in sugar. It scratches with every ride. There's nothing in the valley, the foliage at the bottom is pretty poor and can only be ridden with the handbrake. On the positive side, everything is rideable. At the top of Titlis it's certainly 30cm+, the further towards the valley the less (approx. 10cm Gerschnialp)
Snow quality
The top 20cm are awesome, despite the wind signs. Powderboard tended to sink in - you needed a certain inclination and speed - then it was bummbummbumm. Chopped up still good.
Risks
Not at all without. Saw a few smaller and larger boards and also triggered a few small slides while driving, so I was very defensive on the road. Convex terrain has actually always come up.
Overall impression
First on the mountain at 12 noon - and it took two runs for my head and body to get used to the snow, but then I blasted through until 5 pm - that's enough for my legs too. Chopped up a lot, but still found some good lines.

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!
