Exposition
Snow condition
As so often, there is a lot going on at the Gunzesrieder Säge... at least you can start skiing straight away. In the summit area around the Riedbergerhorn, the top 400 m descent is good. However, branches and mountain pines still peek out sometimes and have to be circled around on the descent. Not much is possible in the forest yet!
Snow quality
Race powder on the north side from 1200m. Otherwise cardboard snow everywhere.
Risks
Wind intensity: No Wind (0 km/h)
Sliding snow observed on the Bleicherhorn. Otherwise little drift snow or signs of dry avalanches. Hoarfrost in shady hollows!
Overall impression
Overall, rather modest snow conditions compared to the higher altitudes. In the foothills around the Riedbergerhorn, the rain has probably destroyed some of the fresh snow from the beginning of December. The fresh snow from the last few days lies on a crust of rain that you can feel on the steep terrain and makes skiing a little less fun. If you don't like skiing on cardboard snow, you should rather choose tours with a high starting and summit point
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!
