Snow report Jungfrau Region, 12/25/2019

Snow condition

Above 2000m there is a good base on the Schilthorn. 2000m is also about the limit where the powder snow turns to ice and where the snow line was yesterday. Above that, the snow is heavily blown. In some places, however, I was able to sink my 1.20m ski pole without any problems. If you ski a little in the hollows, you don't have any stone contact. However, the ridges are completely blown off.

Snow quality

Strong winds above 2000m. Super optimal. Snowboarders had more fun offpiste than skiers. Below 2000m it's very hard because of the rain (ice slab). But all it needs is a nice snowfall without wind and then it will be great! Maybe from Saturday.

Considerable. There were very large snow drifts. It remains tricky.

Overall impression

The base is ok, it will be fine after the next snowfall.
Good skiing as far as Mürren. In Grindelwald, no valley piste is open yet. But the new Männlichen cable car takes you up and down quickly. Top conditions up to Holenstein (piste). Next to it as on the Schilthorn (above 2000m) good.
