Snow quality

Some fresh snow on damp old snow. Surprisingly nice to ski. No lid.

Settling noise in the old snow. Strongly increasing wind during the course of the day with snowfall and heavy drifting

Overall impression

The snow was still surprisingly good. I would have expected swamp or crust. The old snow was damp, but great to ski on with the fresh snow. Unfortunately, the air is too warm and humid for safe spring conditions to develop. It would be fun, but it was too dangerous for me today. In addition, visibility was very changeable and you had to expect fog and orientation difficulties at any time. We can only hope that there will be a few more nice days with good night-time visibility and safe conditions. There would still be enough snow.
