Overall impression
Snow condition
The warm temperatures of the last week (5 - 14 °C) have had a good effect on the snow. Up to approx. 1200 m there is hardly any snow cover, above that there is massive melt cover. It snowed about 25 cm on top of this base yesterday and tonight. In the upper area, however, with strong winds.
Snow quality
Very heavy and damp up to about 1000 m. Up to approx. 1400 m difficult but still quite rideable, up to 1800 m powder in places, but mostly driven away by the wind and compacted.
Risks
It really depends on the area. We were out and about in terrain where you could see the current GMs. Strong wind loads, places with little/lots of snow and, underneath, a considerable amount of ice in places. Definitely not fun - but the tour was justifiable due to the high frequency. More caution is required in the Alps and in unknown areas.
Overall impression
Better than expected, but winter is slowly getting on my nerves

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!
