Below 1400 nothing, above that directly good enough. Above 1700 above average! It looks really good in the high Alps.

Spring conditions. An absolute horror to ascend with thick boards and no iron. On the descent, however, it was nice to ride depending on the expo and time of day. Short front window, but even the hard top was quite good to ride. Full throttle carving in the sun - very, very cool. Split into sections. Once the sun is out of a slope, it freezes over again within minutes.

Risks

Fresh avalanches
Diurnal warming

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Pretty safe. Lots of daytime activity, plenty of gliding snow and loose snow (also impressively large). In summit and ridge areas, danger of falling due to ice caps.

Nice weekend of spring skiing with a mega group. But powder skis are out of place

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!
