Exposition
Snow condition
Also not mega lush, but better than in many other places. On the south side, it's far up and should generally start higher. In the rear Val d'Arpette there was about 20 cm of new snow from Wednesday to Thursday.

Snow quality
On the north side, the snow from Thursday is still powdery, unfortunately there was a northerly wind on Friday and there is a light cover in places. Not too much of a problem, but it varies on a small scale, which makes it difficult to ride.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Relatively relaxed, lots of steep stuff was ridden. We only saw one loose snow rut on steep rocky terrain.
Overall impression
Today we did something from Basti's touringtip (https://powderguide.com/magazin/tourentipps/tourentipp-pierriers-d-arpette). It was quite busy in the couloirs of the Aiguilles d'Arpette, so we chose the one towards Aiguille d'Orny, as there were only 4 people ahead of us.
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!
