Noppenpulver

A built-up, loose snow cover from the ground to the snow surface is a product of prolonged periods of fine weather in early and mid-winter. This snow, known as nap powder, forms a weak layer that must be taken seriously as soon as it has been snowed in. This is currently the case in wind-protected and little-traveled W-N-E slopes at high altitudes.

The sun isn't just coming, it's already here and it's starting to get a bit boring. The WeatherBlog was looking for musical inspiration for today's issue and now can't decide whether STS or Rammstein is more suitable.

The snow surface has taken a turn for the worse again in terms of skiing. After a Christmas season blessed with powder and good weather, the crowds, wind and sun have left their mark. That's why we'd better get back to a snow profile than skiing.

High Dorit and Erika have been bringing warm and practically precipitation-free weather for many days. On the sunny side, you can now find spring-like conditions with firn, depending on the altitude. On the shaded side, you can still catch a few turns of good powder - at least where the wind hasn't worked - despite a zero degree limit of over 3,000m at times. Why?

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.
