Exposition
Snow condition
The first time I've awarded three stars here this year. You could even ski down into the valley today, but that should be over soon. Overall, however, you still have to be very careful, terrain traps and structures are still an issue. Mountain pines are of course not yet closed. However, it can already be deep in the gullies and hollows.

Snow quality
Really good. Where you dare to step on the gas, there is a lot of dust. Occasionally, however, you can feel old tracks or a hard layer of old snow. In the lower areas from midday onwards, warm and moist glue.
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
As has been the case all winter, hidden obstacles dominate. Sluff really gets going on the steep ones.
Overall impression
Really great powder day, but the base is still poor. Unfortunately, visibility was very poor in some areas almost all the time. Further up, however, the snow was always ripped open. Although it was very busy, you could still find nice spots at lunchtime. I already miss the powder, the heat is coming soon...

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!
