Snow report Northeastern Switzerland, 01/11/2015
Draußen ist besser als drinnen
Northeastern Switzerland
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Far below average - as almost everywhere. A reasonably rideable base can be found at about 1400m above the Rhine valley. If it hadn't been for the storm that blew away every little elevation, ridge and crest.
Snow quality
Yes, the fresh snow would have been great, but it's only in a few hollows and gullies and I didn't dare go there today. Otherwise it was blown off, either down to the grass, rock or extensive ice, the heat gun from last Friday Saturday sends its regards.
Risks
Very tricky. Saw several self-timer releases in the terrain over 2200m. Wind, wind, wind, wherever you looked with corresponding results. The snow plumes were visible even from really distant mountains, especially Piz Kesch and Piz Linard were impressive, and I also saw two full-grown "snow pants" opposite....
Overall impression
Despite this, 3 stars, as the slopes were empty and the snow groomers managed to stick the fresh snow on the ice for half a day and outside is still better than inside.
