Overall impression
Snow condition
High alpine areas with little snow and areas with lots of snow are still close together. Due to the predicted fine weather conditions, nothing will change in the near future.
Snow quality
Sunlit slopes are now becoming noticeably "more opaque". At an altitude of 2400 m, there is even a feeling of firn in places. However, there is still powder at all altitudes if the exposure is right.
Risks
The wind cap is clearly noticeable when skiing in drift snow. In conjunction with the many blown-off areas, this is certainly not an ideal situation. It is only easy to recognize these spots. We didn't notice any danger signs today, but we also chose the slopes we skied carefully.
Overall impression
Quite a nice day. We did a few runs in the powder in the morning, but then switched to flying in the afternoon.

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!
