Exposition
Snow condition
Very good snow conditions, even in the forest down into the valley. After several days of intense sunshine, you can see how much has been blown off the ridges, ridges and crests, as well as some wind-exposed slopes. Brown-green snow-free "islands" are now emerging here.
Snow quality
Frozen in the morning, dry old snow in the shade, east- to south-facing slopes open up in the course of the morning. Wherever the sun shines, there are layers of melted hard snow, some of it brittle. South-facing slopes were quite good to ski (firn).
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
Old (refrozen) wet snow slides from steep rocky terrain and forest gullies could be observed. However, it was too cold today for an extreme soaking of the snow cover.
Overall impression
Today can definitely be seen as the first day of spring skiing. Beautiful firn. The search for dry old snow could still be crowned with success here in the extreme shade, but it's probably not really worth it at the moment, as there is already a crust everywhere further down in the forest areas.

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!
