Snow condition
On the dirt road from about 1300 to 1500 m, the skis had to be taken off for a few meters. From then on, everything went without restrictions. Skiing is virtually no longer possible on the opposite south side.
Snow quality
Surprisingly good descent. 5-10 cm of powder, which was really fun. On the ascent, I assumed that the layer of harsh snow under the powder in the north-facing exposure breaks with every turn. This was very rarely the case. On the east-facing summit slope, the base was frozen solid. The fresh snow there was already quite damp at around 11 am. It only got wet on the final descent at around 1pm from around 1500m.
Risks
The surface started to slide in places on steeper terrain. Otherwise, no significant observations today. The terrain was around 35 degrees steep at times and it all made a safe impression.
Overall impression
Dream day. First powder snow and then sitting in the spring sun :-)

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!
