Overall impression
Snow condition
The snowfall in the last 36 hours has provided enough snow, only the strong wind yesterday put a stop to unadulterated powder fun. Snow-free zones alternate with overhead deep areas. Unfortunately not always downwind and therefore difficult to assess.
Snow quality
Still nice cold powder in the morning, the sun then led to a noticeable hardening of the snow surface in the afternoon.
Risks
I would rate this as critical. A profile dug in the lee showed almost 1.50 m of loosely blown-in powder on a hard melt cap. Accordingly, various snow slides (in some places also self-releasing) could be observed during the course of the day. The fact that blasting continued into the early afternoon hours also speaks for itself.
Overall impression
Super to ski, the tense avalanche situation and the rapid change in conditions unfortunately spoiled the fun somewhat. Therefore only 3 stars.
