Snow report Northeastern Switzerland, 01/05/2014
Der Winter ist oben - sehr weit oben
Northeastern Switzerland
Snow condition

Overall impression
Snow condition
From about 1700m on the north side, high above the Rhine Valley, you can speak of a halfway decent snow cover and situation. The Föhn has always given its best here before and after Christmas. 1700m is then not far below the mountain stations. So let's continue hiking...
Snow quality
Incredibly compact. The wind and the warmth before/during the snowfall almost concreted the snow, just about halfway rideable. But had a little too little mm under the bindings on the touring skis.
Risks
The snow was very hard packed, but not too much newer. LLB was a three, although not as sharp as in Mittelbünden/Engadin.
Overall impression
At least a few powder turns again, after the winter at home in the Allgäu has said goodbye for the foreseeable future. There's nowhere here at just under 3000m.... PS: The pictures of the Rhine Valley show the whole malaise. I haven't seen it like this in early January for a long time...
