Snow report St. Moritz / Engadine, 02/13/2024

Snow condition

At the top end of the Upper Engadine, it is covered in thick snow, which you would hardly believe on the outward journey. A few kilometers further on, much less so. It's like a magical land.

Snow quality

Set flitzepow at its best - not the fastest, good for not putting too much strain on tired legs in cruising mode. In our selected tour, almost no wind influence.

Critically assessed the first steep slope, as the fresh snow lay on a crunchy crust. With a glance at the map, it would have been easy to avoid. The sun tickled the sides facing the sun and as we were standing on this slope traverse, a snowball tumbled down, fell onto the next rock band and just triggered a 15-20cm high board, which then widened quite quickly and picked up speed and shot past us.

Overall impression

What a beautiful tour at the end of our trip. We hadn't seen anyone for the whole day and we couldn't decide where to go because of all the lines. Rattling through the larch forest in the most beautiful light in the Groupshred, what more could you want? We cruised comfortably to the boot and enjoyed a beer with the last rays of sunshine. It doesn't get any better than this.
