The winter of 2021/22 was mixed. From a late start to rain at Christmas and record drought in March, powder fun was often rather limited, but of course there were always highlights. The attempt to quantitatively evaluate the winter quality based on the number of PowderAlerts is moderately revealing: With 15 PAs, 2021/22 shares last place with 2020/21 and 2012/13. The average number of PAs since the start of the measurement series is 17.6, with the deviation from the average usually only being 2-3 PAs. Only 2017/18 stands out as a positive outlier with 24 PAs.

PowderGuide is saying goodbye for the summer. This means that, with a few exceptions, we are suspending our editorial work and the weather service is also taking a break until it gets wintry again. Of course, we would be delighted if all those who are still out and about continue to report on their tours in the ConditionsReports!
In 2021/22 there were 15 PowderAlerts: below average!

The distribution of PAs over the course of the season reflects the relatively late start, and the gap in March is also clearly visible. (The early end of the 2019-20 PA season is due to the start of the first widespread pandemic lockdown, not the weather.)
Of course, there is a lot that is not expressed just by counting PAs. We have the impression that many PAs had certain restrictions this year, from a lack of base to hurricanes and very critical avalanche conditions. But: Even if it hasn't snowed for a while, you can still have a great time on the mountain! So let's not complain too much, but look forward to the beautiful moments of winter 2021/22! Many thanks to the PG community and partners for the season together!

Virtual final meeting: May 5
Since the state of the world (and the PG finances) will not allow a "real" meeting this year either, we will at least meet virtually with the PowderGuide community for a joint end-of-season drink of choice. The PG team will briefly report on the current state of affairs and we will present an evaluation of the CR season, as well as this year's CR awards. A quiz will also give non-CRers the chance to win something. But the most important item on the agenda is simply the exchange with you! Here's the link to the PG meeting for anyone who wants to drop by: May 5, 8 p.m.
We're looking forward to it!
The next winter is sure to come!
