Grieskarscharte

Overall impression
Snow condition
Still lots of snow. There was some more snow above 1500m on the WE.
Snow quality
Partly still great powder snow, but where the sun has already been on it, a light crust and in the uppermost part of the Grieskarscharte very wet due to sunlight.
Risks
There were probably a few wet snow avalanches from steep, sunny rocky slopes yesterday, and the last section up to the Scharte was already very wet at 11 a.m. and every skier triggered a wet snow slide on the descent. The snow from the weekend was not covered with the old crust and slid off even with a small additional load. In low, shady areas, the powder snow was lying on an icy crust and also slid off.
Overall impression
Nice ski tour and a few powder turns were also included. From tomorrow I'll probably be skiing firn or looking for really narrow, shady gullies.

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!
