Off-piste skiing in "variable" snow conditions, fine weather and icy temperatures.
Andermatt / Gotthard
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Bad, amount of fresh snow is difficult to estimate due to the wind influence, maybe 20 cm. Above 2000m there was at least some snow underneath. The second star goes to the fact that, thanks to our foresighted choice of line, we got through the day without coming into contact with any stones.
Snow quality
Mostly strongly influenced by the wind, but with a bit of intuition and searching we also found fluffy powder. However, rarely more than a few turns.
Risks
Some (mostly small) spontaneous snow slabs from the steep terrain, also small snow slab triggered remotely. Larger accumulations of drift snow certainly very tricky, but currently also easy to recognize.
Overall impression
Well, a few turns in good snow, that's all it was.

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!
