A nice example today that reflects the current situation very clearly, see below. Interesting also observed now around 1630: Piz Uter (3000m, east of Samedan) has clear wind plumes from the north wind, while Bernina and Palü (approx. 4000m) have clear plumes from the southwest wind. The wind plumes on Palü and Bernina are visible from afar.

Better

Except for the many Italians in the area, it's great. Hopefully there will be snow tomorrow. The precipitation map looks reasonably good!

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!
