PowderAlert 4 2021/22 | After the alert is before the drought?

Today's webcams promise great fun for all students, trustfunders and part-time workers. Thankfully, the rest of us are also allowed to have a go at the weekend.

Alarm 4 is coming to enable the working masses to enjoy real-life powder socialism too, so that this pleasure is not just reserved for the big capitalists. As Ski Guevara said: Hasta la nieve polverosa siempre!

Eh, ok, enough revolution and on to the facts.

Alert period and areas

The alert extends from the Arlberg to France in the Hautes Alpes, with the core clearly going from the Lower Valais to the Hautes Alpes.

The alert lasts until Sunday afternoon.

Wind

There is a decent wind, but not a hurricane. After turning to the north, the wind will weaken considerably on Sunday. I can see the full amounts going quite far towards the main French-Italian ridge.

Where should I go?

Saturday I would go to areas with a base and high trees, because visibility remains poor. This tends to be difficult because there is hardly anything like this in the areas of Switzerland with a base. On Sunday, you can play poker and look for a combination area, as some models will at least show gaps of sunshine in Switzerland in the morning. In France, it will remain rather dense and trees will be needed.

Mid-term

Monday-Tuesday, some moisture is on the agenda again, but it is unclear whether an alarm will come out of it. However, it won't be very warm and dry for the rest of the week, so you should at least be able to go on a few more tours. In the long term, it doesn't look like a good powder pattern for the Alps from 11/12 December, but maybe you can change Ullr's mind.

Powder to the people!

Your oracle

Attention: Please be careful with the snow! The avalanche situation is tense. Depending on the region and country, the situation in the hospitals is also very tense and a stay would probably be even more unpleasant than usual.
