Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

We were on the mountain every day on Wednesday. We were able to follow the build-up of drift snow very well. Also the critical amounts of fresh snow. That's why we're not in the Bregenzerwald, where an extremely large amount of snow had already fallen on Friday. You can see the drifting snow well. Sliding snow is easy to see. Fresh snow was everywhere. The risk was easy to manage.

Avalanche activity

North

Dry slab avalanche (small)

Altitude: 2200 m

Worse

one for the books. 4 days, what felt like 15000tm of untracked terrain, which was impressive for us: EVERYTHING was ridden. Sad result, origin was in many cases abroad. It felt like everyone had been on powder for 2 years, there was no stopping them.

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!
