Snow report Jungfrau Region, 03/05/2016

Winter has arrived after all. Top conditions in the Jungfrau Region. But there are also negative aspects to the fresh snow: WILDRUHEZONEN - APPEAL TO FREERIDERS This weekend I had to watch as some freeriders skied over or under the barriers.

Snow condition

3 von 5 Sterne

There was about 50cm of fresh snow in the whole of last week. Above all, the runs on the north side down to the valley floor are very good. On the north side even the best powder up to the bottom. On the south side, however, it was still green below 1400m a week ago. So there is hardly any base. It's much better on the north side. White Hare access is still very rocky, but the descent afterwards is finally perfect and there is still plenty of space!

Best powder on the north side. Finally it snowed without wind. The snow quality is very good on the north side from the top down to the valley floor. On the south side, however, a crust is noticeable up to 2200m. The sun already has a lot of power and the radiation is getting through the clouds.

Risks

considerably. Nevertheless, I have hardly noticed any spontaneous slides. The situation is much better than it was a few weeks ago. The conditions are favorable.

Now the freeride conditions are finally perfect, but due to the time of year, the north side should be preferred. Descents down to the valley floor are still possible on the south side and very good on the north side.

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!
