SNOW REPORT MARCH 16

Good morning Monday!

The valley station greets us with a thick blanket of clouds, but up at the summit we rise above them and are welcomed by a beautiful morning sun. With the sunshine also comes cold, moderately strong winds, so remember to dress warmly and choose the warmer buff for today’s skiing. These crisp conditions also provide great snow in the pistes!

Over the past week, several pistes and lift lines have started to be packed by our snowcat operators. These include Lingonstigen, Kanan, the final section of BH-löpan, and the lift lines around Norddalsliften. These areas have been groomed but not milled, and therefore count as off-piste. Please pay attention to yellow warning poles, “unprepared slope” signs, and cut edges in the terrain. Also stay alert for other cut edges throughout the system – these are marked with either black-and-yellow poles or yellow poles placed in a cross. Our snowcat operators have been working hard to gather the available snow in order to build up the pistes and lift tracks.

The ski touring route has not yet been marked this season, as there is currently no safe route to establish it. All uphill travel within the ski area is therefore prohibited.

Norddalsliften will not be operating at the moment, but we are working to get it running. Because of this, Vinkelliften will operate all day until 16:00. From the Vinkel lift exit, a traverse track marked with pale orange poles will guide you back to Blåbärspisten. Katterjokk-liften is closed, but snowmobile transport is available during the lift’s opening hours.

Avalanche Information

A thin and unstable snowpack means that the off-piste is not like itself right now. There are more rocks showing than in many years and previously smooth parts can now be steep with terrain traps at the bottom. For skiing outside the ski area we refer to Lavinprognoser.se. Cracks and releasing snow are discovered daily in our steeper slopes – therefore always ski with a shovel, probe, transceiver and a friend if you plan to head out off-piste.

Always carry a transceiver, shovel, and probe, and never ski alone when heading off-piste. For avalanche forecasts outside the managed ski area, please visit Lavinprognoser.se.

Cross-Country Tracks

No tracks have been groomed yet; we will provide updates throughout the season.
