5 cm fresh snow
Descent to valley (to 1800 m)
Blown backs
Covered shoes
Stone Contact avoidable
Variations of snow cover

Still little snow. However, a more compact base is slowly forming (also due to strong winds). The thickness of the snow cover varies greatly due to extensive transportation. Stone contact is still likely in blown-off areas and below approx. 2500m - but no longer as unavoidable as last week.

Snow quality

Hard, pressed snow
Powder snow
Wind drifted snow

The wind has worked extremely hard. Very different snow qualities. Widespread but easy and controlled to ski. Drift snow easily recognizable. The high slope quality was more attractive.

Off-road driving is possible. Stone contact still likely, but no longer unavoidable. The snowpack is heavily influenced by the storm. The quality of the snow varies accordingly. Watch out for drift snow and blown-off areas.

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!
