Overall impression
Snow condition
Still good, but in the lower elevations it's rapidly getting less and less wherever the sun comes in. If it continues like this, things will soon look different on the sunny side at medium altitudes, too, as well as the familiar picture with the wind: above the tree line, a lot of things are simply completely blown away.
Snow quality
Brilliant firn. Great with the right timing. I left shortly after 11:00 on the southwest side, which was perfect. In the shade it was either hard or grippy windswept snow that usually carries.
Risks
Watch out for daily warming. As it is currently getting warmer from day to day, there are always sliding snow avalanches, some of which reach considerable proportions due to the good snow conditions... I find it absolutely incomprehensible that many tourers were still at the parking lot at 11:30 am...
Overall impression
Another great day, could also be 4 stars, but the powder yesterday was a bit better...

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!
