Overall impression

Better

Ski touring in January with a forecast of 1: you can do a bit of that. Yes, quite a lot of alpinism, which is also fun (the north ridge of pazzolastock is in great shape), you have to be quite a lynx to ski and find terrain that is strictly north or was shielded from the northwest wind by domes or mountains. The north side of Cavradi is great and even better in the evening light. Outlook for the end of the week: snow is coming and the Oberalp Pass desperately needs it!

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!
