Exposition
Snow condition
Thanks to the pistes, there is just enough snow for a descent to Vent. Above about 2500m, the snow cover is really closed on the south side

Snow quality
Everything froze at night and the next day you could ski great sizzling firn on the south side from around 10 am. Even old avalanche cones were soft enough not to be particularly disturbing.
Risks
Wind intensity: Medium (20 – 40 km/h)
Diurnal warming is the main factor in avalanche risk.
Overall impression
Beautiful firn tour (wildspitz südcouloir)! Thanks to the corresponding tour recommendation here on PowderGuide. The nice thing about spring is that it's not particularly annoying in firn when 6 people ski down a gully in front of you. At least you can see whether the snow is already soft enough for enjoyable skiing.

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!
