Overall impression
Snow condition
Today was probably the last time we were on the south side. Where there was more than enough snow a week ago is now very thin and stone contact is almost unavoidable. We went down to about 1,500m, but if the weather stays this warm, we'll probably never get below 18-1900m. Things look a bit better on the north side.
Snow quality
Despite the very warm night (6C at 7am @ 1,500m) there was some light melting snow, otherwise there was already slush/rotten snow on the way up. Going down was possible with the snowboard but yes, it wasn't very good.
Risks
Wet/slippery snow hazard
Overall impression
Today gets another 2 because it was still fun despite everything. We had good visibility, beautiful sunshine and got up and down well. The lifts are closing today and there won't be much more snow for long.

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!
