Snow condition

2 von 5 Sterne

The snow cover is closed from about 1200m. Before that, there is virtually no snow at all. In many places, stones and branches disturb the snow cover.

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne

Had a mega firn descent today around 09:00 in the morning. In some areas in the gullies, however, the snow cover is dirty due to stones sliding/falling from the rocks.

Risks

The main danger comes from sliding snow avalanches. Some snow mouths (especially in southern exposures) have already made themselves felt. In addition, you can see how the water is already undermining the snow cover at the edges of the cliffs.

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne

In the right place at the right time, you can enjoy super fine firn runs! Perfect spring conditions...

Note on Conditions Reports

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!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
