Snow report Pyrenees Orientales, 03/06/2014
The last front brought between 50 and 70 cm of fluffy fresh snow from Monday to Wednesday. Now the monster high has taken over here too and with 27 degrees in the sun, the search for that special white is becoming increasingly difficult...

Overall impression
Snow condition
Thanks to the recent snowfall, it's also very good further down. At 1500 m there is 50-100cm, at 2300 m easily 3m. Should be enough for a while... I'd say from 2200 m there's even more snow than 12/13.
Snow quality
Very different. On Monday and Tuesday the finest powder, unfortunately the ski area was almost completely closed due to avalanche danger and storms. Wednesday still good powder, but getting a bit heavier at the bottom. T-shirt weather since yesterday and slush on the slopes from 11am.
Risks
According to the LLB, only one more 3. Yesterday there was a lot of blasting, the wind has transported a lot of snow. The high should lead to a stabilization of the snow cover. During the course of the day, watch out for wet snow avalanches on south-facing slopes
Overall impression
What a great week. First continuous snowfall and the finest Powrenees powder, then early summer and great weather. Unfortunately, the French are on vacation, so there's a lot going on at the moment. And the clouds opened up unexpectedly late on Wednesday. One star off for that! But now we'll have to wait a bit until the snow cover has stabilized and off we go on our spring tours. PS: I apologize for the bad pictures, unfortunately Robert (aka the crusher) is not with us this time.
