Overall impression
From the gondola, we head into a small side valley. At the beginning we take a few cracks through a boulder field, then a wonderful powder landscape opens up. As all the slopes are short and offer good run-out, we dare to do a lot despite warning level 3 and quickly realize that the snow is stable. Pointed turns and bootpacks of up to 45° as well as a descent of up to 60° are possible without triggering. Otherwise, it's a lot of minigolf terrain, so a total of 4 exits and descents. Who would have expected something like this in the current snow and avalanche situation?

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!
