Exposition
Snow condition
The snow all the way down to the valley looked beautiful, but up to just under 3,000 meters, the total snow depth was mostly only 5–10 cm. Most of the precipitation fell as rain up to 3,000 meters before it got colder as the precipitation ended. At 3,200 meters, there was about 30 cm in areas not exposed to wind.
Snow quality
There was usually quite a bit of wind on the glacier, but the cold powder was still easy to ride, and you could also find areas less affected by the wind. However, the surface must be completely smooth ice; the total snow depth isn't enough to cover any significant unevenness in the ice.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
The main dangers come from sharks and crevasses—due to the thin snow cover, most of them are still clearly visible.
Overall impression
I did a few short laps over 3,000 meters on the glacier. Unfortunately, most of the touring options on the glacier at the start of the season have melted away in recent years and have become impossible due to rock barriers.

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!
