Exposition
Snow condition
After the huge amounts of fresh snow, very good snow conditions on the glaciers for high-altitude ski tours. Glacier well snow-covered, even steeper descents, e.g. Pollux west flank possible. North faces unfortunately often still bare despite snowfall. Descents in the terrain on the north side down to approx. 1800 possible.
Snow quality
Above 3,000 m north-facing powder, at altitudes > approx. 3,800 m powdery in all exposures with light wind influence. Typical for the season, firn and slush during the course of the day.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Daytime warming, fresh drift snow near the crest in summit areas at altitude
Overall impression
Currently top high-altitude touring conditions in the Aosta Valley and around Monte Rosa. Powdery on the north side, only slight wind influence, firn on the south side and fine slush further down. Very good, easy conditions on the ridge (normal route) to Pollux - good footing snow, no ice, dry rock.
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!
