The lockdown is over, but the season isn't!

The mountains are "open" again and our CRers are on the road

by Alex Schober 05/21/2020
For many of us, the months of March, April and May are a real blessing when it comes to skiing and ski touring: the days are getting longer, the conditions are often safer - the time has come for extended, challenging undertakings. And you could see that in the numerous and impressive CRs of recent years. This season is different...

A good two months ago, we put PowderGuide.com into a premature summer hibernation due to the current events and declared the CR season over for the time being in view of the exit restrictions and corresponding urgent recommendations from the alpine clubs and mountain rescue organizations.

As the situation in large parts of the Alps eases somewhat and the current regulations in many regions largely allow the practice of our favorite sport again, we would of course like to make the most of the remaining, short time of the turbulent 2019/2020 winter season together with you.

Late-Season Conditionsreports

Our CRers htg_other, bergjunge and chevcelios have shown impressively over the past few days that the conditions in the German-speaking Alpine region are still suitable for a few ski tours.

"es geht noch was!!!!" - htg_other in Oberstdorf

"Spring Skiing Stoke!" - mountain boy from southern Salzburg

"Großer Möseler - Firndreieck" - chevcelios from the southern Zillertal Alps

We are excited to see what you make of the remaining snow and look forward to spring skiing stoke!

Please observe the recommendations and regulations of your local authorities and inform yourself about the advice of the AVs and mountain rescue services.

Here is a short (incomplete) collection of links.

We wish all CR members, readers and partners a successful late season and are delighted to be able to awaken PowderGuide from its premature summer slumber together with you for a limited period. Thank you very much!

Stay healthy, your PG team.
