We didn't go as far as les Diablerets, but some people told us about their tours down there.

Snow quality

4 von 5 Sterne
Powder snow

Fresh snow that is spring-like, not ultra dusty but good all the way down. Underneath it has the massive snowfall from the middle of the week. So at least 1m base.

Risks

Cracking (When entering the snow cover)
West

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

In the upper layers on the steep slopes, the snow slides downhill. Some slight tension in the NW near the rocks. Over the course of the day it became clear how it has harmonized.

Overall impression

4 von 5 Sterne
Equal

With a little more visibility it would have been a five-star day. Top cruiserpow with properly loaded pillows in the forest and hardly any or only very friendly competition.

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!
