Snow condition
1-2*If you start above 1400m on the shaded side, you can do a few things without carrying. At lower altitudes, on average between 10 and 20 cm, from approx. 1700m between 30 and 40 cm.
Snow quality
2*Unfortunately, there was hardly enough snow in the unsunlit areas. it was often really hard and icy. On the shaded side, there is also sometimes a nasty crust of broken ice from about 1700m upwards. On the other hand, the east-facing slopes were nice and soft (there's just not much left) and at the bottom in the sparse forest it was also quite nice.
Risks
Less critical because there is simply so little snow. Possibly still on very steep, sunny, grassy slopes. However, there is hardly anything left, and the main focus is on hazards in the terrain, stones, etc. On the other hand, the snow cover is very settled, compact and often hard - although there is so little, you can hardly get through anywhere.
Overall impression
2*
Although it was tropically warm on the ascent, there wasn't enough snow on the shaded side to make firn.
As long as there is still a bit of snow on the eastern slopes (probably only a few days left) you should ski there. Some of it was real ski training snow, but some of it was also quite nice.
Unfortunately, there was very little snow overall...
Cool foehn clouds in places, no one around.
Sorry, can't give any stars. It doesn't show me the icons...
Edit: So now it works.

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!
