Snow condition

The wind was weaker in Val D'Annivers and Upper Valais than in Lower Valais and the canton of Vaud. The upper slopes are full. Of course, after a long break in the aftershocks, the one or other shark is lying in the sun on the exposed southern and western slopes. The denser lower forest is a little woody.

No notable recent activities. The rain refresh from the beginning of the year has also had an effect in this RUbrik. In general, the decision was to go.

Overall impression

A great full winter day in glorious weather. The avalanche situation invites you to tackle the steeper sections. The preserved powder rewards it and we celebrate joltingly. In the early golden hour, we blast down until the lack of energy tells us to leave. Then you head back in camel mode in the first moonlight. And finally you cruise through a yellow-pink-red-purple-blue sea into contented exhaustion. Days like this should never end.
