25 cm fresh snow

It was sufficient, but stone contact in steeper terrain was unavoidable. However, the basis for future snowfall is now in place.

Breakable crust

Wind drifted snow

Un po di tutto. Weak base and slight wind influence on the summit slope, but still great for freeriding.

Wind drifted snow

Intensity: medium

Altitude: 2000 m – 2700 m

Risks

Old snow problem

Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)

The SLF speaks of an old snow problem, and we saw a few older cracks. The fresh drift snow in the gullies was clearly visible, but stable enough.

Overall impression

Worse

With sunshine in the blue sky and powder on the summit slope, it was a great start to the season and the short tour was perfect to get my wide skis moving again.

Note on Conditions Reports

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!

Thank you for your contribution to the PowderGuide project!
