Snow report Grisons, 02/24/2014

Snow condition

It is now often winter, which means hardly any rock contact. Not necessarily a snorkeling alert, but definitely a basis for the long-awaited feeling.

Snow quality

On the north side it's absolutely brilliant, fluffy and puffy, but on the south side it looks completely different again, heavily soaked from the last few beautiful days. So orientate to the north and collect four stars:-)

Actually relatively relaxed, only on very steep slopes from west to east is caution required. You can also see from the picture, this slope was east, peppered with drift snow. Otherwise, pay attention to the time of day on south-facing slopes, there have already been some major wet snow slides in the last few days.

Overall impression

We stayed in the north and east area today and four stars are definitely appropriate here. A beautiful day with mostly lonely lines. However, it's clear to see that since we've been "moderate", more (even very steep stuff) has been ridden. The last beautiful weekend must have driven everyone out who can even remotely move forward.....some of the climbs and lines were really fun to watch and could provide stories for the Darwin Award:-)
