E-mountain Still going well.
Central Switzerland

Overall impression
Snow condition
Actually more or less normal. However, the strong wind influence is noticeable throughout central Switzerland. Many ridges are blown off and there are heavy drifts and eroded rocks in open terrain.
Snow quality
It's good if you don't ride where the sun's crust is hard as concrete. The southern slopes don't thaw above 2200 and you can't penetrate the cover. The upper northern slopes are protected from the wind or steep enough to be really soft.
Risks
My goodness, the southern slopes, insofar as they are still there, are almost completely gone by 2000. I've never seen such huge fish mouths. Small dry avalanches on the north-facing slopes from wind-pressed snow packs that are easy to trigger. Otherwise the LLB says moderate.
Overall impression
Good, great north lines are currently skiable in nice soft snow.
