Overall impression
Snow condition
Up to approx. 2200m the snow conditions are now good (4 stars). Above it has blown away quite a lot and contact with the enemy is almost always possible. Backs and ridges, sometimes even whole flanks are blown away. On average 3 stars.
Snow quality
The same applies to snow quality. Cold blower up to 2200m, wind-affected above that. Drift snow and wind-protected areas but still nice to ski. Crampons pleasant on the ridge.
Risks
Quite stable overall. You should avoid the larger snow packs, but these are easy to recognize.
Overall impression
Ar***cold, but a great day. Great weather, climbed the highest peak in the Balkans and also caught a few nice turns. Another legendary overnight stay as the only two guests in the huge, frozen mountain hotel. As the boss was there at the time, he took us in before the season opened.

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!
