Overall impression
Snow condition
The last drought period has also left its mark in Andermatt, the 30-40cm in the valley were important in order to be able to ski down the valley again without any problems.
Snow quality
Very different depending on the Expo. Where there was little wind, very good, in less sheltered locations the whole thing was relatively strongly bound. In addition, the lower you got above sea level, the more you broke through to the hard, icy old snow cover. In the valley, the whole thing was already relatively damp. But with open eyes it was still very good.
Risks
The snow fell on a hard, icy base, so it doesn't have the best bond with the old snow cover. I didn't see any signs of slipping in the area, nor were the blasting operations successful (as far as I saw). I would certainly assess the situation more critically in the touring area.
Overall impression
Nice Monday morning on the Gemsstock with a few enjoyable rides in amazingly good weather. Days like this can come a few more times...
