Overall impression
Snow condition
Already more than in the lower elevations yesterday. About 40 cm of snow. Built up 10 cm at the bottom, then 30 cm powdery and partly covered on top. Ground contact was not an issue.
Snow quality
Mainly wind-worked. Sometimes a load-bearing, sometimes a nasty cover, in sheltered locations also no or hardly noticeable cover. You really have to search to find good snow. I picked out a hollow, but in the first round I made a mistake about where to find the good stuff.
Risks
Not an issue in this terrain.
Overall impression
As the base was borderline yesterday, I skied a little higher today. The snow was good, but not the quality. But it was enough for a few nice turns.

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!
