Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Drift snow on slopes around 35 degrees is better. Made a disruptive impression.

Overall impression

Worse

Easter should be sunny and a little warmer. There was a nice load of fresh snow beforehand. Still perfect snow conditions on the north side. Even the south-facing slopes of Brevent and la Flegere still looked great from afar. The snow conditions should be good enough for many more weeks of fun on and off the slopes.

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!
