PowderAlert 5 2020 /21 | New year, new südstau!

In case you're wondering why Alert 5 didn't come this morning: The Oracle was busy shredding the Gnar and scouting sick lines with the bros. Or something. uh. Well. Anyway. But it was really great and days like this keep the fire burning.

In any case, I was in the Black Forest, where ironically there is more snow than in the northern Alps, as the Black Forest benefits from a south-westerly flow. Surprisingly, it's been quite a cold south/southwest flow this year and the new alarm will be no exception. And all the inhabitants of the Southern Alps are confused because they discover that you can ski well in the forest below 1500m. But hey, who's going to complain?

Alert period and areas

From the Monte Viso massif to Slovenia. Cores are probably from Monte Rosa to Ticino and somewhere in the Dolomites.

The alert runs until Sunday evening.

Where should I go?

On the second and third of January, head to your favorite southern trees, which may be newer and deeper than last year. On the fourth it opens up and you can look for cold ullrgaben at the top. There may be cloud gaps here and there in the afternoon on the third and you can make sure you're where you can get higher quickly if necessary.

Mid-term

Cold trough central Europe with new little surprises, but nothing significant before the 8th/9th. But the conditions in the south are bomb and remain good. I'm happy about that, even if I can't go. Because as the wise Ullrprophet Shreddy McGnar from Scotland said: The stranger's stoke is your stoke too! Pow!

Powder to the people!
