Overall impression
Snow condition
Due to strong radiation in sunny slopes and wind influence in northern slopes there are only 2-3*. Basically everything is rideable but you have to watch out for stones.
Snow quality
The north/north-east slopes were very wind-swept and not really good to ski. There was some powder near the glacier, but nothing earth-shattering. We avoided the south-facing slopes as far as possible due to the warm conditions.
Risks
Some gliding snow avalanches have occurred on south-facing slopes. Enjoy with caution. On the north side, very steep stories are easy to ski as the snow is well settled. Only the upper layer of drift snow was a little brittle, but not critical.
Overall impression
Great weather, nice ascent, but virtually no powder. There was no time for big glacier descents today, maybe you'll find something better there?
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!
