Powder snow
Wind drifted snow

Depending on the exposure, fine, lightly bound powder. As the wind picked up, it quickly became heavier. The last few meters of the foliage became damp and heavy.

Wind drifted snow

North-Eas East South-East

Intensity: medium

Altitude: 2000 m – 2700 m

Risks

Cracking (When entering the snow cover)
North-Eas East South-East

Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)

The steeper variants were avoided. Several chutes went down in the foliage. A lot of small cracks formed when skiing, especially within the fresh snow.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Equal

Flying blind in the morning and then nice cruising in powder with a moderate crowd. With the wind picking up, the snow quality suffered, but still a top day.

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!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
