Snow report Pyrenees Orientales, 02/27/2014
Nun geht es wieder los, ich werde bis Ende April regelmäßig aus Les Angles in den östlichen Pyrenäen berichten. Wer an Weihnachten meine Berichte gelesen hat weiß, dass die Grundlage ziemlich gut ist. Seitdem ist unten auf 1500 das Meiste wieder geschmolz
Pyrenees Orientales
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
At 2000m there is 1.5-2m, below that it quickly becomes less and at 1400 there is virtually nothing left. But that doesn't matter, the relevant areas are all around and above the tree line, i.e. above 2000m.
Snow quality
Yesterday was still very heavy because it was too warm (+1C at 1700m). With the recent snowfall, which started shortly after midday, the temperature has dropped significantly (-4C) and the snow is now nice and fluffy even down here.
Risks
As I haven't been out much and visibility is zero, I don't want to say much about it. According to MeteoFrance it's a 3, the recent snowfall and the wind, which can reach a good 100km/h in gusts, certainly won't help. Drifting snow ahoy!
Overall impression
A great start! The peach trees are blossoming in the Mediterranean, up here in the Capcir it was still changeable at first but now the snow has come through. Let's see how much comes together by tomorrow, with a bit of luck and a little less wind, the Powrenees could live up to their name:)o

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!
