Firn-Cruisen in Puyvalador
Pyrenees Orientales
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Still excellent for the end of December. Yesterday and today the snow cover has collapsed quite well due to the warm temperatures, but still 50-100 cm at 1600 m and 150 cm at 2400 m. Towards Comporeills it looks like a lot more. Back and ridges free of snow due to the strong wind.
Snow quality
Great creamy firn on the sunny slopes, inviting for relaxed cruising.
Risks
Still a 3, in Porte Puymorens there was a big avalanche yesterday and several people were buried. I would avoid steep terrain completely, the snow cover is heavy and the wind is blowing without end
Overall impression
Really nice cruiser with 10 degrees and sunshine. There's also more than enough snow, what more could you want?
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!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
