Snow condition

There were 2 × 10 cm of fresh snow, but it also rained in between, so it's still not enough for a proper tour in the terrain.

Snow quality

Yesterday it rained up to over 1800 m in the meantime, so it was "brittle" under the fresh snow.

Above the tree line, a strong wind blew from the south-west today, leading to drifts. Due to the lack of snow, you could be tempted to look for hollows that have been blown in to reduce stone contact. This could be dangerous.

Overall impression

Another short meadow ski tour. Above the tree line there was a strong wind, which was increasingly blowing away. Although 2 × 10 cm of fresh snow has fallen in the meantime, it's still not enough to be able to go ski touring properly. But there's always something coming in very small quantities. And we can only hope that the Christ Child is more generous than Santa Claus.
