Vaud and Fribourg Alps

Overall impression
Snow condition
In general, the foothills of the Alps have been badly affected by the recent rain storms and warm spells. Above 2Mille, however, things are much better. abländschen is passable right down to the valley. But you can't always expect that from the other valleys. Charmey, for example, is almost bare.
Snow quality
Up to 1900 Springspines, in the morning it's tough as hell in the heat until the afternoon but super rideable and about 10-15cm slushy. The best time to go is during golden hour.
Risks
In the valley you can see many sliding snow chutes. But otherwise stable and massively load-bearing.
Overall impression
My God, it was hot at lunchtime, we were cooked by the sun on the ascent and on the steep slopes we smudged on the hairpin bends. Perhaps also due to a lack of performance. Fortunately, the thick crust of harsh snow was burned off and so the descent was really great.

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!
