Snow report Central Switzerland, 04/05/2015
First-Line-Stress in Engelberg - dem haben wir uns so gut es geht entzogen. Trotzdem noch einer der besten Tage der Saison.
Central Switzerland

Overall impression
Snow condition
An incredible amount of snow above 2000m. Below that it decreases quite quickly and there's basically nothing left in the village. Over 50 cm of fresh snow at 2500 in the last few days.
Snow quality
Very fine, it doesn't get much better than this.
Risks
Seeing some spontaneous slides in the ski area. Lots of wind in the upper areas! According to SLF a 3. Although it's not my first time in Engelberg, it's always amazing (or rather frightening) how easy it is to ski everything in 2 hours. And how many people go into the (steep) terrain without equipment and reasonably safe downhill skills.
Overall impression
Super snow, great weather and lots of people. No greetings anywhere (am I too spoiled by the Pyrenees?), everyone in powder stress, too many idiots in the terrain: that was enough Engelberg for this winter. It was still nice though.
