Snow report Dolomites, 03/01/2014
Ski tour near the Plose ski area (actually no more Dolomites, but that was just the next spot)

Overall impression
Snow condition
Pretty good here too, a good 50cm at 1400, quickly more the further up you go. From 1700 then already over a meter even in the dense forest. At 2000 about 150cm. Compared to other areas in the Dolomites, this is significantly less, if you wanted to make a downward gradation here, you would probably only have to award a good 3 stars, especially if you also compare southern exposures.
Snow quality
The tour runs on the NW side, where there is still powdery snow above the tree line, albeit influenced by the wind. Without a lid, but not incredibly fluffy as a result. Yesterday's snowfall has left almost no trace here.
Risks
Considerable according to LLB. The powdery, wind-blown snow is deposited on the Sahara layer, making it tricky. The wind-loaded snow is quite heavy in places, the transitions from much to little snow are easy to make out due to the yellow Sahara layer that has been blown free in some places.
Overall impression
Good snow especially in the forest, open terrain should be treated very carefully.

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!
