Snow condition

4 von 5 Sterne
Descent to valley (to 1200 m)
Descent through forest
Covered shoes
Stone Contact avoidable

Certainly excellent for a south-facing slope at this time of year. Descent to Ferden still possible without combatskiing. You walk 5 m and can even ski as far as Kippel.

Snow quality

Breakable crust
Firn
Powder snow
Summer snow
Jelly snow
Wind drifted snow

Powdery at the top but with a clear wind texture. Below 2500 in the morning, a breakthrough cover that is better avoided. With a bit of timing, however, everything is creamy, a bit sticky but maneuverable from 11 o'clock and you can cruise in every expo. Some dusty turns in shady leeward slopes will make your freeride heart dance.

Wind drifted snow

South-East

Intensity: medium

Above: 2300 m

Risks

No warning signs
South-West

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

None, but I did get out of the steeper slopes of the southwest expo in the afternoon. The wagon wheels were getting considerably large.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Worse

It will soon be warm. The time windows will probably be even shorter. Today it was still possible to deliver in the morning and from 11 a.m. it was spring cream cheese in all expos. However, it was still possible to ride very long variants in a very relaxed manner.

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!
