Snow report Central Switzerland, 03/03/2016

Snow condition

So now there's really nothing left to complain about. Perfectly adequate from top to bottom. Not a single contact with the ground or stones. And there was so much snow that we were floating the whole day. This is how an astronaut must feel... And the good news: tomorrow we'll get another good load on top.

Snow quality

You can feel that spring is on its way. The snow wasn't quite as fluffy as it used to be. But that may also have something to do with the wind, which was blowing strongly once again. But that's complaining on a high level. But what can I tell you tonight about the quality of the snow today. Tomorrow everything looks different, with the forecast 50 CM. And the snow is supposed to fall in reasonably cold temperatures. That sounds promising.

SLF reports warning level 3: An avalanche 60 meters wide and 300 meters long swept away a Scandinavian today in the foliage on the Titlis. Slightly injured, he was able to free himself. This was the second event in a week... We didn't see anything unusual in Hasliberg today. In the afternoon, however, you could tell that the snow had settled because of the foehn. But the avalanche danger will certainly not decrease with all the fresh snow. On the contrary.

Overall impression

Relaxed day on the Hasliberg, which we took a little easier today. With the knowledge that there are plenty of supplies, you can lean back a bit. Have fun out there, but be careful over the next few days...
