Exposition
Snow condition
As a little further north, the snow conditions here are also very below average. On the forest road, you still have to carry downhill in places at 1400m. However, you can ski on the shady side and in open terrain with little structure due to the compact layer of snow. You can forget about sunny sides. Currently all skis are stone skis... ;)
Snow quality
Due to the cold, beautiful snow crystals have formed. Unfortunately, even in the shade, there's a pretty tough layer of crushed harsh snow underneath, which is quite challenging to ski... Sometimes there were short, okay passages. Further down on the east side, dust on ice.
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
Very manageable avalanche situation at medium altitude.
Overall impression
Great weather and ambience, but challenging snow conditions or not enough... I was first on the north side and then climbed up again and tested the east side. Actually, these would have been beautiful slopes, but unfortunately a bit too much broken harsh snow. 2nd star for the view.
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!
