Snow report Brandnertal / Rätikon, 01/05/2017

Brandnertal / Rätikon

Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
In the valley over the last two days about 40cm, but without any base, which still leads to ground contact on hard turns. At 200m, it's more like 60-70cm and the lack of a base is no longer a problem.
Snow quality
The icy temperatures, sometimes 17 degrees below zero, have preserved the powder perfectly - it's still very powdery. On the south side and close to the valley, there has already been some settling, but it is still easy to ski.
Risks
Personally, I would stay away from slopes that are too steep due to the build-up of snow cover with all the hoar frost of the last week, the almost non-existent base and the heavy snowfall. There was also a lot of blasting in Brandnertal today.
Overall impression
The occasional stone contact further down and the somewhat defensive forest still slow us down a little, but we are definitely heading in the right direction.

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!
