Piz Palü
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Altitude
1800 - 3900m
Avalanche warning level
moderate (2)
Exposition
Snow condition
There is snow, even in almost every crevasse. But from the Brücle you walk 5km from Moretatsch.
Snow quality
First slab powder then firn and then the Moretatsch in super slush with snow swamp crevasses and new swamp boards
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
The greatest danger comes from the crevasses. On the south side, we saw an avalanche coming down from the summit of the Palü. From the steep terrain around half past two.
Overall impression
An early start and if you want to ski all the way down then be a bit earlier than we were today. But a great day in a great environment with very special snow conditions and only light Pils.

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!
