Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne

Unfortunately much heavier than yesterday due to the overnight foehn storm. Drift snow in the open slopes to the left of the pendant lift which is slightly warmed and surfy.

Risks

Old snow problem
Much fresh snow

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Snow cover snow test on a 35 degree north-west facing slope approx. 1900m resulted in a 30cm thick slab of drift snow with a smooth gliding surface. However, the additional weight of the skier was probably not enough to trigger it. Because less than 5 minutes later, a wild horde of 10 skiers all rushed down the slope at once, yodeling loudly. There was fog higher up today and the situation was certainly more tense

Overall impression

Equal

Hangover mood after the powder party yesterday. You can still use the leftovers but the top conditions are over. With a good eye, you can still find intact and powdery sections in sheltered areas. Unproductive snowfall from midday. The next batch of fresh snow is due tomorrow evening. Hopefully with a lower snow line this time

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!
