Snow condition

60 cm fresh snow
Descent to valley (to 1400 m)

Covered shoes

Filled to the brim at altitude. You can get down at the very bottom of the valley, but on a rain crust it's rather poor.

Snow quality

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

Gone with the wind. 80cm new with a nasty wind cap don't allow any real joy to arise. Getting a little better towards the afternoon with lots of sun.

Intensity: no wind

Risks

Fresh avalanches
Much fresh snow

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

Wow, the master builder wind was at work and the snow seemed to be very trigger-happy on Friday and spread the chunks over the whole ski area. Saturday was much more stable and settled.

South

Dry slab avalanche (medium)

Altitude: 3000 m

Equal

Expected powder, got concrete powder. Rarely good, everyone practiced a head, great fun at the unofficial midwinter PowderGuide meeting.

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!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
