PowderAlert 17 2017/18 | The third prank
01/18/2018 • Lars Oelmann
OK, the Fenris wolf hasn't appeared in the maps yet, but what Ullr has planned for Monday looks slightly apocalyptic. 150cm and more have already fallen in the last two alarms. And Ullr thinks to himself: all good things come in threes, so he's going full throttle again at the end. -

SnowFlurry 5 2017/18 | Why fresh snow increases the risk of avalanches
01/11/2018 • Lukas RuetzThe snow conditions are good for the time of year across the entire Alpine arc. Thanks to regular, quite remarkable fresh snowfalls. Intense fresh snowfall significantly increases the risk of avalanches. Why is that? -

PowderAlert 13 2017/18 | The wild 13
12/31/2017 • Lars Oelmann
As announced, the time has come. We're in the middle of the rollercoaster and heading for the megaloop. The Ullr is sending squadron after squadron of damp, mild and cool air from the west towards the Alps and it's rattling around. There is a ray of hope in terms of the snow line, because this time it should look better in the Alps than last time. So maybe less puking and more fun on our wild ride! -

PowderAlert 12 2017/18 | Start of the snowfall limit rollercoaster
12/27/2017 • Lars Oelmann
After a somewhat surprising interim alert in the north, which also brought alarms, we're now off to Ullr Leisure Land and on a wild rollercoaster ride of alarms in the north-west, which will probably last until the end of the first week of January. And as is the way with rollercoasters, we'll all be wavering between cheering and throwing up. When it goes down, we cheer and when the snow line goes up, we feel bad... -

PowderAlert 9 2017/18 | The Saga Continues
12/15/2017 • Lars OelmannNo, I haven't seen the new Star Wars yet, but our all-time favorite movie called "Best early winter in ages" is going into the next round. It's 150-300% of the long-term average on the northern slope of the Swiss Alps and the rest of the northern slope of the Alps isn't doing too badly either. And it continues here until Monday! -

PowderAlert 7 2017/18 | südstau
12/09/2017 • Lars Oelmann
As announced, the alerts continue seamlessly. It has started to snow in the west with the warm front and this will spread to the south. Ullr doesn't do things by halves, because the whole thing will be enormous and produce a massive blanket of snow in the south from a standing start. This will probably be the heaviest dump of the winter so far, but it will be warm and accompanied by foehn storms in the north. However, the amounts will be in the newspaper reporting range. #snowpocalyspenow! -

PowderAlert 5 2017/18 | Ullr is a ninja of the Far East
12/04/2017 • Lars Oelmann
And like a ninja, he sneaks out of the shadows into the weather maps and turns inconspicuous amounts into a veritable alarm. The Oracle didn't take a close look and Zack hit Ullr, because the untrained eye is easily fooled by a ninja alert that looked like less than 30cm on the maps from the weekend. It was only because the Oracle happened to look at the radar that he realized something was going on. -

SnowFlurry 23 2016/17 | Lubricating powder & nap powder
04/07/2017 • Lukas Ruetz
Spring is unbeatable with the presentation of snow of all conceivable categories. We dedicate ourselves to two variations that have nothing to do with the common powder but somehow subjectively belong to powder.
