Descent to valley (to 1200 m)
Blown backs
Variations of snow cover

In the forest between 1800-2100 quite ok, above that everything was blown away. Means trenches are filled, tops are bare. Sharky in all expos and no snow at all in places due to south and wind.

Snow quality

1 von 5 Sterne
Hard, pressed snow
Breakable crust
Powder snow
Wind drifted snow

We were out and about in the off-piste terrain above the tree line, where we encountered everything from crushed harsh snow to soft drift snow and huge, hard wind ripples. In flat terrain there was powder in places, with the emphasis on places.

Wind drifted snow

Intensity: low

Altitude: 2200 m – 2900 m

Risks

Old snow problem

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Since the last snowfall, a lot has definitely gone down or been blown up. What's still up there now seems stable, but note the new drift snow and old snow on steep north-facing slopes. We were able to observe a small loose snow slide from a south-facing slope.

Overall impression

2 von 5 Sterne
Equal

All in all, it wasn't worth going to the off-piste terrain, the touring terrain looked more promising, but in the end there was a lack of snow everywhere. Wind and sun don't contribute to better 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!
