Exposition
Snow condition
There is a lot of snow for the time of year and it is very well snowed in. There is up to 2 meters of snow on the roofs of the houses
Snow quality
Very different conditions. At the very top up to 2700 m it was the best. Very good in places, but everything quickly became blocked and there were lots of avalanche cones. After that, the snow was heavily wind-packed up to Lauchernalp at 2000m. And below that it was completely crushed.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: strong
Altitude: 2000 m – 2800 m
Risks
Wind intensity: High (40 – 60 km/h)
Big. And there are also many avalanche cones, some of which are very large. And not all of them were caused by blasting. We also triggered smaller boards. But our route choice was defensive
Overall impression
Top freeride spot. Unfortunately, the wind has severely damaged the snow cover
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!
