Snow condition
The tour went from about 1500m to 500m. If you can ride these 1000m without having to unbuckle, it's great. Hence the 4 stars. You have to reckon with stone contact from time to time, but it's worth it.
Snow quality
The strong westerly wind has also brought snow with it and in the higher, sheltered areas it is great to ride. Close to the ridge it's blown off and icy. At lower altitudes, it's difficult and there's not always a load-bearing cover on the shaded side.
Risks
Heavily blown in on the east side and to be enjoyed with caution. In the morning, the thickness was still very low, which is why we opted for this east-facing tour. At lunchtime, we noticed that the drift snow was getting thicker and the poor visibility made it difficult to see. It was enough for the day.
Overall impression
For me it was 5 stars for this day and the overall experience even though the snow wasn't that good. These "descents" have not been skied for years because there was always too little snow. This weekend it worked.
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!
