25 cm fresh snow

Sufficient fresh snow so that even with little to no base there was no stone contact or similar. On the crests it was a bit blown off and a bit windy. Due to April 4* ;-)

Hard, pressed snow
Powder snow

Great powder snow, really top for April! As we were out early, we didn't have any stress in terms of heat and sunshine.

Risks

Diurnal warming
Much fresh snow
Much water in the snow cover
North North-Eas East

Wind intensity: Low (< 20 km/h)

rather low - low, an unintentional contact with a stone etc. could be critical...moreover, the conditions will probably change again very quickly with the warming. tonight at least it is supposed to get cold again.

Worse

Great "unplanned" home office alternative on skis, I'd love more of this. Great weather and very good conditions for April. It's expected to get warmer at the weekend. From next week onwards, there could be a threat of near-freezing ? I'm curious!
