Overall impression
Snow condition
You can get as far as Les Diablerets. However, some of the key sections require more equipment. Basically, all routes are passable. But there have been many more.
Snow quality
Settled powder that has fallen with little wind influence. You have to expect a small crust on some sunny slopes. At the snowball line there is also a thin crust of rain for a few meters, which you can hear rather than feel.
Risks
3s mainly due to the amount of snow that fell on Thursday and Friday. In the area, the surface is coming loose on old frozen layers in exposed steep terrain. Blasting sequences from Friday in blown-in ridge layers show partly massive crack edges and wide run-outs. It generally appeared stable on Sunday. In the sun-exposed steep slopes, it started to trickle from midday onwards, so you shouldn't linger too long in crossings below.
Overall impression
Four point eight. But only because I'm spoiled and have had an even better experience there. It was probably the day that could ultimately turn the season into a not-so-bad one and a day to remember. Great crew, great snow, the best runs in the Alps and the best apres ski dinner anywhere
.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!
