Snow condition

Another 40 cm or so have been added since Tuesday. The first limited off-road activities are possible with a defensive approach. However, the tracks to Langwied looked more like gear reviews.

Snow quality

On the purely north-facing side, you will find settled powder snow. However, almost the entire terrain is completely tracked (there were also many ski tourers out and about). On the sunny side, however, the quality will change quickly due to today's temperatures in the plus range.

The first small wet snow avalanches have come down from very steep south-facing slopes. The problem of old snow should be borne in mind in the high Alps.

Overall impression

Lots of activity on the glacier.
