Overall impression
Snow condition
Now I have three stars. Best snow conditions in recent years. You can also get through the forest. At 800 meters there is a good 30 cm. At 1300m according to the measuring station 140cm! But there was also 0cm at the summit thanks to the storm.
Snow quality
Rain crust and clearly moist up to about 1000m, then compact powder depending on wind influence good, very good to moderate. On the sides facing the wind, partly blown off except for a layer of ice.
Risks
Difficult. On blown-off ridges probably quite safe but unattractive. Where the snow has been deposited there are huge accumulations of drift snow. No idea how easy these are to trigger. In the lower forest it seemed relatively safe to me in wind-protected areas.
Overall impression
Snow situation great, quality so la la, weather top, enough for 3 stars.

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!
