The four stars are for the altitudes above 1500 meters. It has flaked down quite a bit in the last few days. It was easily 50-60cm. Descent was only possible from a certain slope gradient.

Powder snow

Nice cold fluffy snow from about 1200. Only around noon was it a bit too warm at the bottom.

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

Above 1800 a clear three-pointer. We saw brutally little today, but heard a lot. With the fog, a good route was not really possible. We broke off after about 2 hours of climbing... It was too sketchy.

Overall impression

Better

Weather roulette on the Bannalp. We had hoped that the sky would clear in the morning. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. We got a bit lost after the first few minutes, then it was exhausting and there was virtually no visibility. That was nothing today. Luckily we met 2 like-minded people with local knowledge for the descent. Otherwise we would have taken the gondola back down. The descent into the valley was 1/3 great, 2/3 not so good. You really could have gotten more out of today in another place.

Note on Conditions Reports

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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
