PowderAlert 2 2020/21 | Mr. Ullr? More please!

It's still snowing in the south. Although no longer as apocalyptic.

by Lars Oelmann 12/07/2020
It's served. In large parts of the Southern Alps, we are still nibbling on the sumptuous powder menu of the last few days, and Ullr is already preparing dessert!

You've obviously been busy at the Ullr shrine, because there's more to come. And as the old German saying goes: "The Ullr always dumps on the biggest heap", so it is again this time in the south. And the core is the same. The alert runs from today until Wednesday afternoon, but in the western south it has already started snowing heavily (or, er, not stopped at all?) and in the east it's starting again. In the west, however, most of it is theoretically already coming down today, so the totals are to be understood as including today.

Alert period and areas

It goes from Monte Rosa to Slovenia. The core extends again in the corner of South Tyrol, Trentino, Friuli, Upper Carinthia, East Tyrol.

In the north it is also flaking around, but there is nothing worthy of an alarm. The alert lasts until Wednesday evening in the east and until Wednesday morning in the west.

Wind

Significantly tamer than at the weekend and therefore a lot of fluffy stuff far above. The danger is of course that this will cover the blown-in areas, but they should be so thick that this shouldn't be so tragic. However, there won't be as much on the main ridge as recently and nothing at all in the north this time.

Snow line

Mostly around or below 800-1000m, only possibly rising to 1400m in the far east. So everything in the green zone for a südstau.

The quantities

Ullr no longer dishes out with a coarse ladle, but usually only spices things up here and there. Except in the core, where another whole menu is coming out of the clouds. Watch out, most of it has already fallen in the west today!

From Monte Rosa to the east of the Adamello group, 30-60cm will fall, just like east of the core. In the core, 60-100cm is coming and some models are seeing significantly more, so I don't want to rule out 120cm in a pothole above the tree line, but I don't see the absurd totals.

Where should I go?

If you really get into the core, you can certainly have fun there, but everywhere else is good enough for fun in the trees. The Swiss side in particular is certainly better in terms of transport. And there's plenty of snow in the Upper Engadine etc. too. The weather will improve on Thursday and, after checking the LLbs, you'll be able to go up and test the barely wind-affected powder of the upcoming dump.

Medium-term

Friday should still be inviting for sunny tours and supplies will probably arrive at the weekend. You can find out where, how much etc. here, of course. But you should definitely make the most of the weekend, as the models are pretty unanimous on a massive warming afterwards.

So: Have fun, keep your distance in the ascent and make the most of the week.

Powder to the people!
