Northeastern Switzerland
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Altitude
900 - 2200m
Avalanche warning level
moderate (2)
Exposition
Snow condition
On the north side you can still reach the valley quite well, the summit slopes of the Churfirsten are (even more than usual) heavily blown off, regular stone contact. On the south side, you'll have to carry more and it's sure to get much heavier over the next few days.
Snow quality
Everything depending on exposure and altitude. Settled powder (N and NW below approx. 1700 m), sunlit, nicely softened but also hard-packed or with a crumbly top. Over the next few days, you can also go for firn.
Risks
Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)
It has already emptied a few steep gullies, otherwise we haven't seen anything. In the area of the old snow problems, caution is certainly still called for.
Overall impression
There's always something going on. Found a few nice turns on the north and north-west side in set powder, but this is likely to become increasingly difficult as the weather warms up. Otherwise, not particularly good conditions for mid-February, but still 3 stars due to the good weather and the excellent company.
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!
