Pyrenees Orientales
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Above 2000m still very good with often more than 2m of snow. Below that, unfortunately, quickly less to nothing at all, therefore eigtl 3.5 stars. Unfortunately, skis have to be carried almost everywhere in the forest, whether due to broken snow or lack of snow. The summits and ridges are free of snow due to the wind.
Snow quality
Above 2400m in the shady slopes still settled powder snow, otherwise partly very fine firn or decent slush. Only below 2000m in the sunny slopes bad braking snow
Risks
Quite relaxed, basically everything that can go down has gone down. Nevertheless, watch out for wet snow avalanches during the day. It could get dicey again from the weekend...
Overall impression
Still very good conditions, despite the early summer temperatures (over 20C at 1500m). Both in the ski resorts (which are now deserted) and in the touring areas. It remains to be seen what the weekend will really bring.

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!
