Snow report Central Switzerland, 02/26/2014
Auf dem Titlis ist die Hölle los. So viele Freerider auf einem Haufen habe ich noch nie gesehen. Zur Veranschaulichung: In einer Gondel, gefüllt mit 50 Leuten, hat gut die Hälfte fette Powderlatten in den Armen. Und zwar vom 13-75-Jährigen.Entsprechend ve

Snow condition
Half a meter of fresh snow wouldn't hurt on the Titlis either - more and more stones are appearing or are hidden under the 10 centimetres of fresh snow that fell on Thursday night. Nasty. The fresh snow wasn't enough to cover the tracks in the plowed backcountry. PS: In Engelberg, at 1000 meters above sea level, it even rained yesterday evening.
Snow quality
Fortunately, the slopes in Engelberg face north. So the snow quality is still surprisingly good - apart from the fact that everything has been plowed up. With a bit of luck, you can still find really good powder.
Risks
The backcountry has been ploughed up, certain slopes have been flattened like pistes. A good opportunity for freeride beginners to get to know and study the slopes. SLF reports warning level 2, but ATTENTION - avalanches can occur even in moderate conditions. This means: don't forget your equipment.
Overall impression
Riding the Leaf or Steinberg is also fun when everything is rutted. The nature, the 1000 meters of altitude and the adventure make my heart beat faster even in "bad" conditions. But of course: it desperately needs snow.
