It feels like we've only blinked once and the season is already over. But so much has happened and it's been great. The start in December was brilliant, hopes were high for an exceptional season - but the weather and winter had its own plans. From Christmas onwards, the Alps were hit by unusually mild temperatures, which continued throughout the winter. It was a season full of highs and lows - literally. Because while we were looking forward to the powder days, the snow cover retreated regrettably early to well over 1500 m altitude, and the touring options were massively restricted, especially at lower altitudes. But spring was kind to us, bringing back the winter for a good ten days in April and providing good conditions for the alpine touring season.

But it wasn't just the weather that was turbulent, we also had a lot going on. In November, our new website went online with the new, self-programmed weather maps and, since the beginning of March, we have also been bilingual (German and English). Both were long-standing visions that suddenly became reality in the blink of an eye. In addition, Lea has handed over her many years of editorial management to Klara and a few new Powderlings have also joined the PowderGuide core team.

The PG editorial team and our freelance authors as well as well-known and new partners have once again filled this season with articles on the topics of weather, equipment tests, avalanche awareness, event reports, interviews and critical reflections on the future of winter sports. The quality of the content is extremely important to us, a quality that our readership also appreciates.
