Exposition
Snow condition
Little snow in the area, especially when you consider that you start at almost 2,000m. Also significantly less than in the westernmost Lower Valais. Nevertheless, you can get down without any problems. In the lower part of the couloir there are two places where the bare ice is only thinly covered, somewhat unpleasant but not a major problem.

Snow quality
A bit of everything, still some powder protected from the wind and sun, otherwise hard packed or already firned up. Unfortunately, the couloir is not as regularly firned up as hoped, but still nice to ski in places.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
Relatively favorable conditions, we did not notice any warning signs. Shady, rarely used steep slopes should be assessed with caution according to the SLF.
Overall impression
A bit of Cody for the poor or something like that. In any case, a beautiful classic here in the area, Hannibal-Couloir on Mont-Vélan. Conditions are not top, but the overall experience is easily 4*.
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!
