Avalanche warning level

Exposition
Snow condition
The fresh snow is perceptible above the forest. Generally everything is smooth. Below 1500 it becomes very sticky or clearly ambitious. It takes a little commitment but it works.
Snow quality
Well, if it doesn't stick then it floats like on a carpet. Controlled, precise but comfortable.
Wind drifted snow
Intensity: medium
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Above 2400, a triple is still on the cards. That makes you a little suspicious. The new snow "lid" is perceptible on the old snow lid. In between is something 5cm light but indefinable. Fortunately, we don't know whether it's enough to trigger a release. We have not observed anything. Below 2000, the wet surface on the steep slope is smearing. Slowly but surely. The high temperature there loosens the lid to slusphpuppy, which then goes off in a "small area"
Overall impression
It's hard to say what will happen and what to expect. But it was certainly usable from midday with clearings and not too fast cruiser turns.

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!
