Overall impression
Snow condition
In the meantime, the skis have to be carried for the first 15-20 minutes. Before that, unfortunately, everything is already green, even though the starting point is already at 1600m. From around 2000m, however, there is still enough snow to undertake numerous tours.
Snow quality
Everything from slushy snow to hard snow. We even found some powdery snow today. From 11:00 a.m. onwards, however, the snow quality deteriorates rapidly.
Risks
According to the LLB warning level 2, which I would confirm. If you're planning larger undertakings, you should definitely start early. We also dug a snow profile yesterday at around 2600m. It was clear to see that the snowpack is now completely wet. There were also many relatively fresh avalanche cones to be seen. In the night from Saturday to Sunday it cleared up and it got much colder and a good snow cover developed.
Overall impression
It's always nice to be out and about with all these people. For this reason alone, it would actually be a 5 star ;). 3 stars from me due to the beautiful weather and the better than expected descent. Pictures to follow!

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!
