Western exposures and in large hollows critical with danger of falling. have triggered a board after high additional load (fall) in steep terrain hanging under rocks. Crack edge approx. 20cm spread 20m length of the attachment 150m. Massive wind load in the morning, then almost no wind from midday.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Equal

Yes, apart from the incident that opened all our eyes again and gave one or two of us a shot in front of the bow and a spanking in the back, the day was very good. With care we were able to cruise comfortably again and we left the steep terrain alone.

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!
