Brand Check
Brandnertal / Rätikon
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Above 1600 m is a good 2 stars. Below that it is 1 star. Descents across meadows into the valley are possible, but always with ground contact from approx. 1300m. Slopes on the shady side are significantly snowier than slopes exposed to the sun.
Snow quality
Nice and powdery on the shady side, just the way you want it. In sun-exposed areas, the snow is much heavier and will gradually build up a crust. All in all, there is still a lot of good quality snow.
Risks
Some ground avalanches and fishmouths are recognizable. Ground avalanches mainly seen on south-southeast slopes at altitudes from 1600 to 2200 m. Fishmouths mainly on the shaded side at approx. 2000 m. Fresh wind signs are not visible.
Overall impression
Were mainly out and about in the area today. The crowds are still missing. The LWL is favorable, but it still needs a few centimeters of snow to do more off-piste. Short runs are perfectly feasible. The icy temperatures guarantee plenty of powder snow and it could stay that way for a long time. The snow cannons are running at full speed.

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!
