Exposition
Snow condition
The storm has swept away all the ridges and crests. The choice of line is practically predetermined by gullies and hollows. The handbrake can't really be opened anywhere. Brunni also looks bare and needs replenishment.
Snow quality
Dust on Crust. Every turn was a surprise - sometimes the finest blower, then you hit some avalanche cones again. With better visibility and line choice, however, it was quite possible and surprisingly good
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Massive drift snow packs have formed there and the current snowfall is making it even worse. It was easy to disturb the whole thing with small rollers. Relatively easy to assess due to the small amount of fresh snow.
Overall impression
Good day with little activity in the terrain. From toe deep to hip deep, everything was there. Hopefully Ullr will now bring the necessary supplies.

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!
