Snow condition
Good snow conditions for mid-March. We skied down to 1100 m on the south side today without any problems. At this altitude there is certainly still three quarters of a meter to a meter. Less in places exposed to the sun and wind. Streams and other terrain traps are slowly but surely reappearing. You have to be careful.
Snow quality
We got good firn on the south side around 11 am. That was the only good terrain today. On the north side it was a mix of ice, hard snow (stable) and very occasionally some usable snow. It has to be said that our north-facing ventures were already quite worn out.
Risks
Quite relaxed. We were on the road early and finished early. On the south side, the snow cover was not completely frozen through. Only the top 20 cm or so was frozen and melting. Below that, the snow cover was damp. The temperatures were around 0°C and there was no wind. There have already been a few sliding snow and wet snow avalanches.
Overall impression
Beautiful south-facing descent in the sun. The fog didn't clear completely and there was a mix of sun and whiteout. Some sun and a good run, nothing more but also nothing less.

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!
