Exposition
Snow condition
Fresh snow from 50cm and 1m in forest aisles. Descent to the car in the village possible. There certainly wasn't much in the area itself before the fresh snow, and it was often blown off at the top due to the constant wind. However, all the blown-off snow then mostly ended up in the forest, which led to dream conditions, at least below the tree line.
Snow quality
Stayed cold, above the tree line it was blown over or a bit pressed. Top powder snow in all other places!
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: medium
Altitude: 1600 m – 1800 m
Risks
Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
As we only used one lift (Gampen) and visibility wasn't so good at times, we didn't observe anything current. Snow still extremely loose, only a bit of sluff even on steeper runs. Hard to judge above though
Overall impression
Insanity! We started late in the day and then skied until the lift closed. You could already see the first avalanche barriers... By midday there was hardly anyone left in the area and it continued to snow heavily. Most of the tracks will be snowed in again tomorrow if it continues like this! We can only hope that other lifts will open at the weekend :)
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!
