Worse

The snow was still surprisingly good. I would have expected swamp or crust. The old snow was damp, but great to ski on with the fresh snow. Unfortunately, the air is too warm and humid for safe spring conditions to develop. It would be fun, but it was too dangerous for me today. In addition, visibility was very changeable and you had to expect fog and orientation difficulties at any time. We can only hope that there will be a few more nice days with good night-time visibility and safe conditions. There would still be enough snow.

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!
