Hautes-Alpes

Today we are focussing on the most original style of skiing, telemark. This means heels free and knees bent with every turn! We have collected classic teaching material and more recent productions. The aesthetics of telemark skiing remain irresistible!

What sounds like an erotic film from the 70s filmed with soft focus, which you used to be able to marvel at on linear television on private channels, is unfortunately the current reality, because even if Ullr sends us even more precipitation to our record-breaking base above 2000m, the inclined freerider will cry hot tears for the melted snow in the middle altitudes.

You know it from soccer (that's the sport without skis that many people supposedly think is great. I once saw it on TV!), if a team somehow always gets everything right, or you always ski the right line on the same day, then that's a run.

Just in time for the end of the season and the first of April, Ullr proves to have a special sense of humor and sends us another alarm. One wonders why he wasn't able to increase the frequency of alerts three months ago, but Ullr's disciples are patient and happy for any blessing.

The alarm comes with a massive line of thunderstorms and will bring some powder to the Alps again. This time with less densely packed warm and cold air masses, which made things quite complicated last week: Saturday the west lost out on the powder roulette table and the north won, Sunday it was the other way around.

As announced, the snowfall continues seamlessly. Surprisingly, the snow line for this alarm is lower than feared at times. Ullr likes us after all! A strong westerly flow is also dumping a lot of snow, but no Californian records are in danger.

It's that time again! The end-of-winter powder hunt begins these days and Ullr is spinning the snowfall limit roulette while turning on the precipitation hose at the same time.

In this alarm you can almost finally ski like in a normal season! Joy! The only downside: unfortunately only in Lower Valais and France.

It's not quite so clear with the drought, but you should take advantage of the weekend and, if possible, the coming week, because the medium term currently seems to be rather unclear. More on this below.

The average citizen fears it, the freerider hopes for it: late winter is coming. Ullr uses this alarm to warm up properly after the long break and to test his muscles. Before, hopefully, really getting stuck in next week. More on this in the medium term. After a more or less empty February, it's finally time to get going again!

In the words of the German Chancellor: "We're breaking new ground!" And I'm not talking about the internet, but about Alarm 8, because this time Ullr isn't sending us cold and snow all the way down, but a partially warm alarm with a fluctuating snow line.

Ullr is getting into the corona streaming business in a big way and, if the crystal ball is anything to go by, wants to delight us with a whole season of more or less exciting weather conditions. As a pilot episode, he gives us something tried and tested to keep the freeriders happy and sends a short, normal südstau alarm.
