Descent to valley (to 1500 m)

Due to the snowfall at the beginning of the week, it looks like winter in the Lower Valais. There's not much in the valley, but you can get down without contact with the enemy.

Snow quality

3 von 5 Sterne
Powder snow

Above 2,300 m there was a bit of wind, so the lid was lighter but still nice to ride. Wind-protected 4 stars, even if the sinking depth was no longer huge.

Risks

North-Eas

Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)

Drifting snow 3s, no danger signs seen

Overall impression

Worse

Two beautiful days in the Lower Valais. It already looks like winter here and the quality of the snow was good. However, it was very cold, just shy of frostbite.

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!
