A differentiated view. Above the tree line, the wind has shifted so much that in places only a few centimeters are missing to the bottom or you come across a massive ice sheet from the last warm period. . Elsewhere (downwind) and at lower altitudes (forest) there is enough for unadulterated skiing enjoyment.

Where the wind did not reach, 4 stars. Everything else is fitted with a light wind cover.

Risks

Not so easy to judge. In my opinion, the main danger at the moment comes from wind loads which are not so easy to recognize in the diffuse light conditions. However, due to the snow conditions, we were almost exclusively out and about in the forest.

Overall impression

From a neutral point of view certainly 3 stars. But with the crowds that came down in the last few days, it was rather disappointing if you were hoping for snorkeling :)

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!
