Overall impression
Snow condition
You reach the parking lot with an intermediate carrying passage of 5.35m.
Snow quality
Above 2500 powdery, nice and dry, loose to wind-pressed, sometimes with and without a cap. Almost 3.5 stars ripe on wind-protected slopes. In the middle, i.e. below about 2000, there is a lot of sun, but when the top thaws it still slides well and is fun to ride. Below to the parking lot it is very dull as soon as it thaws. If you can still find the steep slopes between the trees, it's still fun.
Risks
On Wednesday, three skiers were freed from a medium-sized, dry wind slab. This went down to around 2500 in the northwest sector. These accumulations of drifting snow have now bonded better. Furthermore, everything is moving towards the valley with a continuous son exposure during the course of the day.
Overall impression
Classy last resort mini powder day, less crowds and less stress due to the time of year. Every beautiful swing is enjoyed threefold.

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!
