PowderAlert 4 2020 /21 | Powder between the years in the southeast and west

The oracle only saw the Nordstau from afar and unfortunately I'll only have to do fitness walking with skis in the Black Forest at the next dump. Or go sledging. But Ullr didn't come up with the pandemic and I'm happy for everyone who can ride, because a joy shared is a joy doubled. After all, we're not surfing!

At least it's now snowing again in regions where the foundations are at least a little higher and there's a thick base. That means you can get going even during the snowfall.

Alert period and areas

Ullr gives us a supply from the Lower Valais and France to the Maritime Alps and from the Upper Engadine to Slovenia. The core is clearly from Veneto in eastern Italy to Slovenia.

The alert will last until Tuesday evening (29.12.).

Where should I go?

If you can cross borders, then to the south-east. Solid base, weak layers only far up and you can go straight into the trees. If you're in Austria, the same applies to Carinthia and East Tyrol. For the Swiss and French: Either go fishing for sharks in the west or take the cozy refresh in the Upper Engadine.

For everyone else, especially in the northeast, it's time to wait and watch as the Föhn storm consumes the last remnants of cosmetics.

There will be a brief lull on the 30th and after that it is still very uncertain whether something will blow in or whether it will remain cool and calm.

Medium-term

Good question.... many things are possible, but it will mostly look to the west or south again. A northerly storm is unlikely in the new year. After all, there are still hardly any dry and warm Sahara model runs.

Powder to the people!

Your oracle, who is secretly hoping against all reason for the worst low mountain winter of all time.
