Snow condition

The snow conditions are good at the top, but below 1300/1400m you have to be a bit careful. I hit a few roots.

Snow quality

Quite windswept at the top, it's been stormy the last few days (today too). It's nice to ride further down, but unfortunately the snow is quite wet and then not so nice to ride on the flat.

There was a good storm up there, probably with wind speeds of over 100km/h (according to the hut warden). Accordingly, a lot of snow was blown away. Several self-releases could be seen on very steep slopes.

Overall impression

The base has improved significantly, but the avalanche risk is pretty critical over the next few days. We were also very defensive today and didn't climb any summits.
